Susan Merrie Colby

Susan retired just over 13 years ago from her long-time employer at the convention center in Minneapolis to help care for her grandchildren.

Susan was a loving and dedicated mother first and foremost. Her sons Doug and Mike were her everything. She especially loved her role as Grandma to her two granddaughters Zoe and Mila Dreis going on many adventures with her girls.

She was a voracious reader, always swapping books with her sister’s Lu and Fae.

She loved gardening and being outdoors, especially to watch a soccer game.

Susan was preceded in death by her parents Louis and Rosalie Sadlemyer. She is survived by her beloved sons Douglas (Kristina) Dreis and Mike Dreis; her cherished granddaughters Zoe and Mila Dreis; her sisters LuRae Christensen, Fae (Grant) Whissemore and brother Rick (Carol) Sadlemyer. Susan is also survived her nieces Tabitha Whissemore and Stacey (Adam) Larson; Alec and Sam Larson and many other cousins, nieces and nephews.

A service of remembrance of Susan for the immediate family only will be held Thursday, July 2, 2020 at 11:00 AM at Sunset Funeral Chapel, 2250 Saint Anthony Blvd. NE, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55418. A cremation will occur.
