Susan Marie Krueger

Susan Marie Krueger passed away on December 21, 2020 after a five year battle with ovarian cancer. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend.

Sue was born on June 4, 1948 in Berlin, Germany where her mother and father worked for the State Department after WWII. She returned to the United States in 1950.

In 1967, she met Jack Krueger on a blind date, and they wed on April 19, 1968. They raised two sons, Scott and Brian, and went to countless sporting events, concerts, graduations, weddings, and births to support them and their families.

Along with being a full time mom, Sue worked in the Thompson R2J school district for many years. Following her teaching career, she worked for non-profit organizations helping underprivileged children. As a founding member of Heart of the Rockies Christian Church, she was very active in choir, education, and church administration, and helped organize multiple service projects, including many trips to the Navajo Nation in Shiprock, NM.

She enjoyed being with family, reading, traveling, gardening, and spending time with Jack at their mountain cabin.

Sue was predeceased by her mother, Leona Huber. She is survived by her husband of 52 years, Jack; son Scott and his wife, Kathi; son Brian and his wife, Tawn; grandchildren Mikayla, Brianna, Sarah, Ashley, Kiah, Katie and Jack; great granddaughter Clara; sister Ellen Karlson; and niece Stacy Duplease.

The family requests that donations be sent to the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance at 1777 S. Bellaire St, Suite 170 Denver, CO 80222 in Sue's memory. Due to Covid-19, there will be a celebration of life at a later date.
