Susan Beth Pringle
1945 - 2009
Susan Beth Pringle, 64, of De Soto, WI died
Saturday May 16, 2009 at Gundersen-Lutheran Medical Center in LaCrosse, WI. She
was surrounded by her family and cared for by a special group of people in the
Hospice Unit. Susan's body was donated to the University of Iowa and there will
be no services at this time.
Susan was born April 25, 1945 to Donald and Florence (Jennings) Palmer in
Fairmont, MN. She was the second youngest of nine children. She met Joe Pringle
while peeling potatoes at Denny's Cafe in Garner. They married March 8, 1963 in
Klemme and were married 46 years. They lived for a time in Charles City and
later moved to an acreage in Floyd, where they lived for 15 years.
Susan was a beautiful, giving, and selfless lady, always working while taking
care of her family. Her greatest accomplishment was returning to school and
becoming a Group Home Supervisor for Comprehensive Systems 9th Street Group Home
in Charles City. She enjoyed fishing, gardening, reading, watching birds, and
being with her cat "Sophie". She was the best wife, mother, and grandmother a
family could ask for. Even through the last few days of her life, she showed us
strength and wisdom.
Susan is survived by husband, Joe Pringle of De Soto, WI; her children, David
Pringle of Colorado Springs, CO, Daniel Pringle of Waterloo, and Darcey (Derek)
Beuge of Lansing; five grandchildren, Nathan (Kristine) Pringle, Niki Pringle,

Jimmy (Vallie) Palmer; her sisters, Charis (Emmett) Brown, Carolyn Palmer, Elsie
Niemeyer, Trella (Duane) Walker, Donna (Dick) Firgard and Pat (Harold) Hammond;
and nieces and nephews. She would have also been a great-grandmother this year
to a baby girl, daughter of Nathan and Kristine Pringle.
She was preceded in death by her parents; two
brothers, Carlton and Wallace Palmer; a brother-in-law, Bob Niemeyer; and a
nephew, Bobby Palmer.
