Marlene Sue Gerschefske entered her eternal rest on April 2, 2023. She began her earthly journey on July 20, 1931 to Carl and Jess Stephenson in Lubbock, TX, the youngest of 3 sisters. Always preferring her middle name, Sue grew up in western Texas, graduating from Meadow High School, then attending Business College.
With a gift for numbers, she worked varied jobs through the years, including with an oil company, in banking, and finally retiring in the 90’s as a civilian Reserve Pay Analyst for the Marine Corps.
Sue married Raymond “Shad” Gerschefske on July 12, 1952 at Reese Air Force Base, Lubbock, TX. They were married over 42 years before his passing.
Moving to Kansas City with Shad’s job, she was always a loyal Chiefs fan and was happy to see them win 3 Super Bowls during her lifetime. She traveled after his passing, making a trip to Europe, and enjoying many Holy Trinity bus trips.
Preceding her in death, their daughter Suzanne in 1965, Shad in 1995, and her sister Bobbie Ashburn in 2008.
Sue leaves school friends, work friends and church friends, as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. She is survived by daughter Sherrill, nephew Eddie (Jennifer) Ashburn, great nieces Lasey (Walker) Rainey and Risse (Russ) DeLoach and great great nephews Grant and Blake.
