Sue N. Wallace

Sue Wallace, 97, of Evansville, passed away Friday, April 8, 2011 at Deaconess. She was born March 18, 1914 in Lancaster, Ohio. She was preceded in death by her husband, “Doc” Paul Wallace; daughter, Sally Wallace; sister, Ellen McGrew.

Susie graduated from the School of Nursing at Ohio State University where she met Doc. They were married 55 years. Formerly of Cynthiana, living at Solarbron in Evansville brought her much joy as she expanded her circle of treasured friends.

She loved teaching nursing at St. Mary’s, gardening, arranging flowers, the color red, gazing at the night sky, and a good dessert. She was an avid OSU fan and all who knew her, also knew not to reach her if a game was on.

Sue was the original “Black eyed Susan”. Her dark, vibrant eyes sparkled with her quiet humor, her love of family and friends, and her unstoppable energy.

She is survived by daughter, Holly Wallace of Richmond, CA.

As her daughter, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to her friends and family who have enriched her life in so many ways for so many years. She truly lived life to the end and passed away at Peace.

A celebration of her life is planned for 3:00 PM Saturday, April 23, 2011 at Solarbron Pointe, 1500 McDowell Rd, Evansville, IN. Wear a little something red.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The American Red Cross-SW IN Chapter, 29 S. Stockwell Rd, Evansville, IN 47714.
