Obituary of Susan Ann Grimm

Susan was born the second child in a family of 11 children in Fillmore, Saskatchewan on March 9th, 1945 to Philip and Annie (nee:Boese) Lindenbach. Susan had a brother Arthur who was born in 1947, and passed away at birth. This left Walter, Leona, Minnie, Louise, Eddie, John & Judy (the twins) Richard and Donald to fight with; all of whom were born within 13 years. When Susan was 10, all of her siblings were put into foster homes. She spent some time with her brother Ed in Shell Lake. Susan did not have a lot of opportunities to see her siblings as they got older, with everyone moving around and busy with their lives, visits were fewer and far between. In the summer of 1979 they had their first family reunion. Life went on and Susan began to make her own way in life, moving to Prince Albert she began her working days. She worked at the Coronet Motor Inn for 2 ½ years as a dishwasher. Then moving to the Voyager Restaurant for 2 ½ years then finally to the Cavalier Inn (Marlboro) for 16 years. While in P.A. Susan met the love of her life, Delbert Grimm soon after they moved to Shellbrook and were married on July 27, 1993. They became soul mates and Susie and Delbert did many of their money making adventures together, Susie as hard working as any one. Some of their adventures were tying down log cars, working in the bush blocking up wood to sell for firewood, as well as fencing for local farmers. Susie invented a chain elevator for the chainsaw when they used to tie down the log cars. She enjoyed reading, doing crosswords, and playing a friendly game of cards. However one of her favorite things was to go on a fishing trip. Susan loved the outdoors, flowers and collecting, rescuing teddy bears and other stuffed animals. Susie also loved her music and enjoyed listening to hymns and country music. Susan always had the coffee pot on to welcome any guests who might come by for a visit. Susan was quiet, unassuming and hard working. Her attitude was always very positive, she was easy going and anyone who was around Susan felt that. Later on when Susan’s illness progressed and she was in the hospital, you could always find her holding on to at least one of her stuffed animals. Susan will be deeply missed by her husband Delbert Grimm; her brothers Ed (Shirley) Lindenbach; John Severson; Richard (Dianna) Bromstad; Don (Shauna) Lindenbach; her sisters Leona Garman; Minnie Garner; Judy (Willie) Fontaine; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Susan was predeceased by her parents, Philip & Anne (nee: Boese) Lindenbach; her brother Walter Lindenbach; her sister Louise Garman; Her brother in-law Leo Garman.
