Service is defined as helping, assisting others. For Sue Wunderlich, there is nothing more important than provide the highest level of service possible. Working for Life Story Funeral Homes – Betzler gives Sue the opportunity to offer grieving families the caring service that they need.
Sue’s story begins in the town of Paw Paw, Michigan, where she grew up as the youngest of four children. With three older brothers and just four years separating them all, Sue learned at an early age that sports were going to play a big part in her life. Her dad was the president of the local Little League and coached all four kids on their baseball teams and taught them all to play golf. For Sue, just being outdoors was fun. From climbing trees, wandering through the woods and swimming at “the lake” in warm weather to sledding and snowmobiling in the winter, Sue was always on the go. Nowadays, she’s found a new hobby (or fetish), collecting Longaberer. Sue has her mother to thank for that. The two take bus trips every-other year to Dresden, OH (“the Longaberger capital of the world”) and shop ‘til they drop!
From 1985 to 1989, Sue attended Paw Paw High School graduating in 1989. While in high school she was immersed in sports. Those four years were filled with studying, playing basketball, softball, and running track. Davenport University was the next stop on Sue’s path where she earned her degree in Accounting.
The year 2000 found Sue achieving a new goal, starting as secretary/receptionist for Betzler Life Story Funeral Homes. According to Sue, “In funeral service no day is ever the same, with more experience - the more knowledge I have”. Sue is now the office manager.
All of this experience and knowledge is what makes Sue the caring person that she is. Her mission at Betzler’s is to do as much as she can for each family, so that they may grieve in their own personal way. With honesty and integrity, Sue does just that. She appreciates that Life Story Funeral homes celebrate the life that has been lived, honoring the memories and legacies that will be passed down from generation to generation.
Sue now lives at Eagle Lake in Kalamazoo with her life partner, Margo, and her two cats, Birdie and Homie. Sports are still a big part of her life as she plays golf every week and she takes great pleasure spending time with family and friends. Oh yes, and cheering for the University of Michigan Wolverines and enjoying a good tail-gate party.
