Susan was born June 23, 1953 to Alma Belle (Sowden) Herschberger and Frederick Roy Herschberger in Drayton, North Dakota. She grew up on a grain farm there in the Red River Valley. When she was 6 years old, the family moved to Lake Benton Minnesota where she started 1st grade. She faithfully attended Sunday School and church at the First Baptist Church in Lake Benton, where she made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ and was baptized. After graduating from Lake Benton High School in 1971 as valedictorian, she pursued vocational training in bookkeeping in Canby, Minnesota.
In the summer of 1972, she moved with her parents to Loveland, Colorado. She started her first bookkeeping job at Western States Construction. A few years later, she moved on to Gracon Corporation, a new company started by Jerry Ashbach, where Sue did the bookkeeping on ledgers, before computers became the norm. In later years, Sue did bookkeeping for Virga Corporation where she was working part-time until she became ill in early 2024.
On September 14, 1974, Sue married Orville Hahn, Jr. They shared their home with a variety of dogs and cats, as they both loved animals. A few years later, they moved to an acreage west of Loveland where Sue could pursue her dream of having horses. They raised Morgan horses under the name of Windvali Morgans. When Orville became ill, they decided to take their dream trip: a memorable cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. Sue was heartbroken when Orville passed away in June of 1993.
Susan is survived by her sister, Jane Beede (Marvin), and her step-son Orville Hahn Ill (Cherlyn); as well as many cousins and an aunt. She was preceded in death by her dear husband, Orville, and by her parents.
