She was born on August 6, 1946 in Whitefish, Montana to Gretchen and David Nels Johnson. Sue Ann attended Holy Redeemer Grade School, St. Mary’s Academy, and Portland State University.
Her love of children brought her into the field of education. She taught from 1968-1991 at Peninsula Grade School, Mt. Tabor, and Kelly before serving as Principal at Marysville Grade School from 1991-1998. Every child brought a smile to her face.
A member of Riverside Golf and Country Club, she enjoyed many golf events. She and Don also traveled with close friends to find the best courses and margaritas. Sue Ann was knighted as a Royal Rosarian, which was such an honor to her.
Sue Ann supported many causes, one of which was diabetes that she battled for 40 years.
Always on the go, family, friends, her kitties, book club, shopping, traveling, art classes, dancing, music, whatever Sue Ann did, it was with a big smile. She will be missed.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Donald C. McMacken Jr. who died November 6, 2009.
Sue Ann is survived by her family: brother, David Lee Johnson; sister, Nancy Ellen Jodoin (Mike); nieces, Danielle Ellen Jodoin and Jennifer Jodoin Grady; and stepson, Geoff McMacken.
