It is with deep sadness to announce the loss of Susan Vonda Minne' on December 24, 2024 after a brief illness.

Susan leaves behind her sons Andrew Frank and Philip Frank (Arlissa Dykstra); grandson, Jameson Frank; mother, Sylvia Elmer; siblings, Shirley (Joe) Hart, Shawn (Rich) Bloem, Michael (Jami) Minne', Sandra (Dave) Batey, and step mother Carol Minne'. She was preceded in death by her father, Thomas Patrick Minne'.

Susan was born on October 4, 1959. She graduated from Galesburg-Augusta in 1978. In the 80's she worked as a Transcriber for the Kent County Sheriff's Department and the Berrien County Sheriff's Department. She also ran a successful daycare, worked as a patient transporter, and finished her career as a prep cook for Travelers Restaurant in Portage.

Susan attended Green Meadow Bible Baptist Church in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She loved her church family where she enjoyed sending cards and always looked forward to the special music and potlucks.

Her greatest joys were her sons Andrew and Philip. In her younger years she enjoyed doing 4-H, eBay selling, and Avon. She liked doing puzzles and going to garage sales.

Susan leaves behind a legacy of warmth, compassion, kindness, and most of all her love for Jesus.

John 14:27

"I am leaving you with a gift -

Peace of mind and heart. And

The Peace I give is a gift the

World cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid."

A memorial will be held at a later date.
