She served as president of the Iowa Cattlewomen’s Association in 1993-1994. She even wrote articles for the monthly Iowa Cattleman Publication. Susie took time for herself bowling in the Tuesday Afternoon Rollers League, doing photography, watching sunsets or the moon rise, grandchildren’s sporting events, tending to her flowers, traveling to spend time with family and trips with her Mt. Vernon besties. Read More
