Susan Boyum

ROCHESTER- Susan K. Boyum, 61, died Monday, August 16, 2010 at Season's Hospice in Rochester. She was born on December 21, 1948 to Kenneth and Delores (Kodet) Wittwer and raised in Bird Island, MN.

Susie graduated from Mankato State College where she met and married her husband Dean in 1971. She taught for two years in Karlstad, MN and 35 years in Dodge Center (Triton). After retirement she continued to substitute teach at Triton and Rochester Off Campus.

Most of all she was a teacher. She loved her students and the professional educators that were her colleagues. Susie loved sunshine, oceans, and animals especially her cats.

She died after a year long struggle with cancer. It was not a battle as she was and still is an extremely peaceful soul.
