Susan's favorite hobbies
She loved collecting porcelain dolls & barbies, Barbie’s were her favorite though. She was funny, loving but sometimes very misunderstood, but as adults we all should have been better people & let some stuff roll of our backs because she didn’t mean any harm. I read her diary to GOD & it made me understand her so much more. But in her last days she tried to make everything better. & as far as I’m concerned our last few months were nice. We did food deliveries for uber & instacart together, she looked at houses & was amazed by what some of my customers bought. She worked on her puzzle book & reminded me how to drive every few miles 😂 but that’s ok cuz she was my mom! I don’t care that no one else has anything to say about my mom on here, because her service although it had to be closed casket while we raised the money to pay the greedy funeral home and even though she couldn’t wear the dress, I bought her that I know she would’ve loved. Her service was absolutely beautiful, so many people came to show her love and we had a beautiful balloon launch and we all threw flowers down on her as she went down and played Beyoncé‘s heaven and Elvis’s mama loved roses. I did a speech my husband did a speech and my best friend did a speech and as the balloons rose up to the sky, the sun came out after hiding all day, and that told me that she was happy with how her service went, and she was finally at peace and with my dad and God, & Jesus
Susan's favorite foods
Soup seemed to be what she always wanted. But she did love her a quarter pounder without cheese though. ♥️
Favorite bands and musical artists
Her younger days were filled with Tom Petty, Bob Marley, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, but I’m pretty sure her older days she was more into religious music even though I know she love to listen to that other type of music still, she was more into the religious music, but when we would go out together, I’d have my serious FM on a comedy channel and we would just laugh at some of the things people would say
Interesting facts about Susan
She was interesting all around. I miss you mom.
Susan loved nothing more than
God, my mother loved God she loved her children too. She really did.
Susan's pets in life
Lady (dog), which I thought was my grandmas but maybe she was my mom’s she was in a lot of our photo albums in our house. Sammy (dog) I forgot what Sam was but I guess he wouldn’t let anyone near me as a baby so they had to give him away. Buck (dog) German shepherd was trained to be a police dog I was told. Nikki (dog) husky jumped in our car when I was a kid while on a pizza delivery that my dad was doing and owners just gave her to us? I kind of think it was just a surprise and that’s the story they told me to make it more interesting lol. Sparky (dog) boarder collie, simba (dog) not sure but he was a big horse lol next are all cats that I remember. Cuddles, patches, & Bella. Can’t forget her many webkins pets. Which I promise I’m still trying to figure out how to get in your game mom to care for them!
Favorite TV shows
Probably anything political she really never talked about anything but CNN
Favorite sports
Well when the bears were close to a Super Bowl I’d say foot ball but that’s about it. We used to watch ice skating too
One of Our last conversations
the last few conversations me and My Mom had she would cry about how much she missed her great grandson, Matthew because she couldn’t him, she missed him a lot.
A meaningful moment.
Helping her do something on her computer & seeing baby pictures of my great granddaughter on her computer with little sayings like perfect angel that she made. Also some of my kids (her grandkids) she loved my husband & he loved her back they had a sweet relationship. Sometimes I think she loved him more than me. Just kidding. But who can resist that guy anyway? I loved how he was able to get her to understand things & how much she trusted him & his word. Things weren’t always perfect through out my life with my mother but if I had a chance to go back or one more time to tell her I’m sorry for being a jerk of a teen ager and sometimes a jerk of an adult I would & id take it all back. God only gives you one mother & father , so no matter what kind of silly argument or dumb nonsense made you mad let it go and call to say I love you & let me come make you dinner or take you out of that house for a while. I’m thankful for our last months together, but it should have been years. No matter what though she knew who she could trust & who was really looking out for her best interest.

Obituary
On that one day every one was preparing to give their one special person something to show how much they love and care for them, you went one step further for your one & only love, your one & only crush & the man you loved for over 50 years, & waited to see again until the day you laid to rest. The exact way you taught me to love my husband. you didn’t make a Valentine’s Day card, you said roses aren’t of any real value or show of love , you knew chocolate strawberries were over priced & messy. & your were correct. you knew your heart was so much more valuable then any over priced store bought item. So you worked on your wings and you made them more beautiful & bigger than anyone else could ever imagine since December 13 2012 when daddy passed to February 13th 2026 when you crossed to see him. You created your big beautiful golden wings to finally fly back to your valentine. Although our earthly bodies will miss you beyond belief, we are so thankful for the times we had together & the only thing keeping our hearts from breaking into a million pieces is knowing that you are finally back with not only your soul mate Matt J Wallenius (my daddy) but also in the loving arms of god & his son Jesus. From 2/25/49-2/13/26 you may now rest in paradise mommy. You deserve it! Say hello to everyone for me. But let them know I won’t be there anytime soon, but until we meet again i love them & they’re always in my heart & on my mind. Let daddy know i have the absolute best protecter ever but im sure he knows this.
