Suzanne Jane Poulson Hansen

Sue was born June 8, 1941 in Watseka, Illinois to the late Leo & Dorothy (Danforth) Poulson.

She married Clay on April 22, 1961 at the United Methodist Church in Palmyra, WI; they celebrated 50 years of marriage together.

Sue was a member of the Red Hat’s and a member, past treasurer of the Gordon Presbyterian Church. Sue was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Suzanne loved Christmas; she made it special for her family with sledding, a bonfire, and amazing mashed potatoes and gravy! And of course her good sense of humor that touched everyone that she met. Sue was a member of the Fire Hill Women’s Golf League; part of her golf strategy was making the women in her foursome laugh.
