She was baptized July 28, 1929 at Zion Lutheran Church, Walburg, TX and was confirmed at the same church on April 18, 1943.

She was wed to Gilbert Henry Roeglin on November 2, 1952 by W.F. Bielfeldt at Zion Lutheran, Walburg, TX. From this union was born their two children Linda and Leonard.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Alvin and Frieda (Hanusch) Arldt; her brother, Earl Arldt; and her sisters, Gracie Winkler and Mamie Mersiovsky.

Susie is survived by children, Linda (Darvin) Widmer and Leonard (Glenda) Roeglin; grandsons, Lance and Jared Widmer; sisters Wyone Hubbard (Fred) and Annie Meinardus (Ronny); sister-in-law, Frances Arldt; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Susie attended parochial school at Zion Lutheran till the 6th grade, when her dad needed her help on the farm. When she turned 16, she went to work for Scottish Rite Dormitory in Austin. During her time working there she met Gilbert. After their marriage, she became a true farmwife. After Linda and Leonard started school she began working at Pflugerville ISD cafeteria. In later years, she worked at several sewing factories in the Taylor area including Taylor Bedding Mfg. where she worked for 20 years.

Susie always put her Lord first in her life and taught Sunday school at Trinity for a few years. She was a long standing member of the Altar Guild which brought her much enjoyment.

Susie was an excellent cook and made the best lemon, coconut and chocolate meringue pies. Her coffee cakes and donuts were also very tasty. Even though she was a woman, she made some of the best tasting barbecue. If she wasn’t busy outside working in her garden and flowerbeds, she was in the kitchen cooking up something good and homemade from scratch. She always wanted her family over for Sunday lunch, but don’t even think about doing dishes- that was her duty- she said it relaxed her.

Susie loved her two grandsons and doted on them. Lance was there every day for lunch and Jared spent several nights a week there- both keeping her company and doing odd jobs for her as needed. There will never be another Ma.

A visitation will be held on Tuesday August 2, from 6pm-8pm at Condra Funeral Home in Taylor, TX. Funeral services will be on Wednesday August 3, at 10 am at Trinity Lutheran Church in Taylor, TX. Burial will follow at Taylor City Cemetery.

Serving as pallbearers will be Lance Widmer, Jared Widmer, Jeff Meinardus, Scott Meinardus, Daryl Meinardus, and Roy Arldt.
