Sue was born in Central City, Nebraska on January 3, 1953 to Glen and Etta Belle (Knapp) Dugger. She was baptized at an early age in the Palmer United Methodist Church. She graduated from Palmer High School and attended Joseph’s College of Beauty. Sue had two daughters, Glenda and Mary. Sue met Harold Kaiser at Doc’s Place in Central City, Nebraska. They were married April 2, 1977, joining their two families as one. Their family lived in North Platte, Grand Island, Loomis, Holdrege, and Kearney. Throughout her life, Sue enjoyed working in the kitchen at the schools her daughters attended, managing different restaurants and delis, and housekeeping at Good Samaritan. Most recently, Sue spent her time working with children as a preschool paraprofessional at Zion Lutheran School. In her spare time, Sue took joy in sewing, gardening, and cracking jokes at the expense of others. Sue was a great cook and baker, and her family will greatly miss her famous potato soup, runzas, and mostly homemade pies. Although Sue had many hobbies, there was nothing she loved more in life than her family. As her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were growing up, they spent many days together and had multiple sleepovers. She loved attending her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren’s games, recitals, and other activities. The memories made with Sue will be treasured by all those who love her.
