Suz, our sympathies go out to you and your family. We know how much your mom meant to you and how much you meant to her. You were not just mom and daughter, but best friends. I still remember when my daughter was making bracelets one summer, and you wanted one for each of you. You were the prime example, of how are parents take care of us growing up, and how we are supposed to be there to help them later on and you were just that. I know your mom will be watching over you. Even though we may not still work together, our friendship will never fade. I am always just a text, snap, call away if you need anything. Love always, Ashley and the family

Sending my deepest sympathy and condolences to all of you. Shirley was a kind and thoughtful person who will be greatly missed.

Suz, thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. I'm so sorry for your loss, I know how special your relationship with your mom was, and how much you were a part of each other's lives for so long. I know it will be so hard to go on without seeing her all of the time, but you have so many wonderful memories to look back on. She sounded like such a wonderful person, and she raised you to be so thoughtful, caring, dedicated, and fun! Your Johnson Ave Kitchen family is always here for you. ❤️

Truly heart breaking to hear the news. Sue's you are so loved here at hyvee. We have heard so much about your mom through the years and the only way I can describe is you had unconditional love for her. We were sorry to hear of her passing.

Though I never got to really know her, I feel like I do through my friendship with Suz. We know that she had a great sense of humor as well as a stubborn streak and found a love of CC#22. We know that she raised you Suz to be honest, forthright and to be a good friend. We are very sorry for your loss and are here if you need a shoulder.

A great Mom, Grandma, and Mom-in-law to me. I wasn't just lucky enough to marry her youngest daughter. I was, also, lucky enough to have Shirley and Frank as a second set of parents. Love and miss them both.

Barb, Patty, John, and Susie - please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. The memories of your mom (and dad) will be forever treasured by all as they bring you and your families comfort, joy, and connection. Your mom was a proud, significant lady who radiated warmth, nostalgia, and left a legacy that is second to none. It is not the 92 years in her life that count. It is the great life she lived with all of you in those years. I never realized or thought about just how many unforgettable, precious memories were made with your family. Your mom left a lasting impact through her actions, relationships, and contributions. She will be missed, but remembered. May God bless you all.

Shirley and Frank were wonderful neighbors and friends of ours. We lived across the street from them on Southland Street SW. They were so helpful to us and fun to talk to. We made a donation to the Oldorf Hospice House in her memory. We are thinking of you during this difficult time.

Shirley was a great friend and neighbor, always there to help if we ever needed anything. We’ll miss visiting with her in the garage and the great stories and laughs we shared. She will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Shirley and her family at this difficult time.

Patti, Nicki, and family - My thoughts and prayers to you and your family during this time. I know how special she was by the stories I heard Nicki share with me and I know she will be very missed. I am really sorry for your loss.

Patti, Nikki, Mandy, and family: I met your mom/grandmother at several functions Patti invited me to. One could tell how much family meant to her and how much she meant to her family. From stories Patti has told, I understand her mom was quite the seamstress, sewing for her family and even making a suitcoat for her husband--something that involved talent and patience. My thoughts go out to you all at the loss of your matriarch.
