Suzanne Peterson Obituary
Sue was born September 25, 1939 to the late Armin & Linda (Kube) Britzke in Watertown, WI. She grew up on the family farm in Jefferson County, attended the local grade school, and graduated from Fort Atkinson Senior High.
She married Charles A. Peterson on September 20, 1958 at St. Pauls Lutheran Church in Fort Atkinson, WI.
Sue was a former member of the Stevens Point Jaycettes and a long time member of St. Paul Lutheran Church and their Alter Guild. Sue loved arranging & giving flowers, in addition to planting flower gardens, bird watching, and chocolate. In her spare time she enjoyed camping, boating, baking, sewing, shopping, collecting angels, playing cards with her card club, traveling, and attending the EAA Airshows. She loved helping people such as volunteering her time at the Portage County Aging & Disability Resource Center. Sue cherished her family and spending time with them, especially her grandchildren. They were the "light of her eyes" & "could do no wrong".
She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and dear friend. Her sense of humor & contagious laughter will live on in our hearts forever.
She is survived by her husband, Charles Peterson of Stevens Point; children, Jeffery (Barbara) Peterson of Stevens Point, & their children, Anna & Jonathan; Linda (Russ) Ludlum of Stoughton, & their children, Marisa & Ashley; and Kim (Jeff) Delikowski of Stevens Point, & their children, Forrest, Jennifer, & Hunter. She is also survived by her brother, Roger Britzke; nieces & nephews; and many dear friends.
A Funeral Service celebrating her life will be held 2:00 pm, Sunday, June 3, 2012 at St Paul Lutheran Church, Stevens Point, with Rev. Thomas Petersen officiating. Visitation will also be held on Sunday from 11:00 am until time of service at the church. Burial will follow the service in St Paul Lutheran Cemetery.
Sue's family would like to thank the staff of Ministry Hospice & Ministry Home Care for their compassion & support throughout this difficult time. -Especially to Gretchen, Jenny, Brenda, Dana, Amber, & JoAnn: "We couldn't imagine getting through this without you." They would also like to thank Kristin Peterson, NP of Klasinski Neurocare for her "above & beyond" care, compassion, & dedication. There are no words to express our deepest gratitude.

Sue, I miss our talks,muffins & coffee. Will always cherish all of those times as well as the boating, campfires, going out to eat-especially Pinewood by the fireplace. I know how I hurt from the loss of you-can't begin to imagine how Chuck & your kids feel. Gods blessing to all.

Chuck and family,
My deepest sympathies to you. I just heard today of Sue's passing; I am so sorry for your loss. Sue was a beautiful, friendly, caring lady. Bill spoke of her fondly recalling their volunteer time together at the Lincoln Center. Now, they are both angels watching over us.
God bless you all.

Chuck, Jeff, Linda and Kim and families...your wife/Mom was the best and welcomed me when I came to the USA and was an inspiration for me. She was a supermom and I always felt close to both Sue and Chuck and they always made me feel I was a part of the family. Thank you Sue and I'll miss you so much. God Bless.
