Sue dedicated over 40 years to the Ionia Meijer, where she managed the deli and later, the gas station. As a member of SS. Peter & Paul Catholic Church, Sue was deeply involved in parish life-helping to organize the annual Fall Fest, preparing meals for funeral luncheons, and volunteering at the Lenten Fish Fries. She proudly supported her husband, Jim, by organizing VFW funeral honors and events. Beyond her church and family, her commitment to service extended to volunteering with Ionia Sparrow Hospital and the Ionia Free Fair. Sue had a gift for conversation. She connected with customers and formed lasting friendships with co-workers. At home, she took great pride in keeping the family farm beautiful-zipping around on her zero-turn mower or carefully tending her flower beds. No matter the activity, Sue approached everything with full commitment, and her attention to detail. Sue is survived by her sons, Andy Huver of Ionia and Tony (Jen) Huver of Hudsonville; and her cherished grandchildren, Henry and Madelyn Huver. She is also survived by her sister, Judy (Gary) Volker, and several beloved nieces and nephews. Brothers and Sisters in law Kenneth (Patti) Huver, Frances (John) Brown and Jerry (Phyllis) Huver.
