Mary Susan “Sue” Eaton, age 81, departed on Thursday, Sept. 19, and went to be with her loved ones in heaven. She was born on July 2, 1944, to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Clyde Bradley, Jr., in Missoula, Montana.
She was the oldest and had one brother, Mark, and a sister, Janet, and a half-sister, Joanna. She lived in Terry, Montana, until she was 9, when she lost her father. Her mother, Mary Helen, remarried, and they moved all around Montana. She finished high school and attended Western Montana College in Dillon, Montana.
It was in college that she met John F. Eaton. As their hearts grew close, they married on Aug. 19, 1967, which began their chapters of adventures — in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. There were good times and bad, and they experienced them together.
They tried many times to have children, but only one daughter, Julie, was born. Young and old, Sue made many friends along the way in their travels and touched many hearts in her life journey.
She held many jobs here and there. Her many activities increased the many friendships along the way. One was being part of the Masonic family with her husband.
Sue is preceded in death by her parents; one grandson, Jonathan York; a brother, Mark (by just a few hours); her husband, John; and a few beloved furry friends.
She is survived by sisters, Jane and Joanna; a daughter, Julie (Eric) York; and two grandchildren, Ryan and Abigail.
Words cannot express how dearly she will be missed as she was loved very much. We would like to thank everyone who was a part of her life in some way, you are noticed and appreciated.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, Sept. 26, at University Bible Church, 4700 Philbin Rd., Chubbuck, Idaho.
Funeral services will be conducted at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28, at the Berta Penney United Methodist Church in Kemmerer. Interment will follow services at the South Lincoln Cemetery, Kemmerer. A luncheon will be held at Grace Baptist Church in Kemmerer after the internment, at 905 Pine Ave.
