Susan Lucille Ertl was born June 2, 1955, at St. Cloud Hospital to Wilfred and Lucille Ertl. She enlisted in the U.S. Navy in August 1973, and she was honorably discharged in August 1976. Susan graduated the medical transcription program in 1996. She married Randy Humbert on March 20, 1982, in Watkins and spent nearly 39 years in wedded bliss. Susan was graced with three children and two grandchildren, and she was the best Mom and Granny to them. She was always there when any of her children needed her, and she never hesitated to lend a hand. She enjoyed spending time with her family, and cherished the moments when everyone could gather. She enjoyed cooking for her family, and she was always amazing at it. During holidays, she would make up a grand smörgasbord that could feed the entire family for the next week. She always made sure that everyone had something to enjoy, even if they were a picky eater. She held a special tradition of making Sunday brunch for her family every week and served pancakes that couldn’t be beat.

Susan enjoyed reading, crochet, and quilting. Her quilts are truly works of art. She filled her family’s homes with many beautiful quilts that she liked to say were hugs from her. She enjoyed going to quilt shows with her husband and picking out fabrics for her next project. She enjoyed making the yearly Halloween costumes by hand for her children and grandchildren. She had a creative soul and produced many beautiful things. She enjoyed watching ghost programs and cooking programs on TV. Susan was a wonderfully compassionate role model for everyone who knew her. She was always willing to lend a helping hand and accepted everyone without judging them.

Susan was preceded in death by her parents, brother William (and Susie) Ertl, sister Mary Jane, and grandparents Emma and Tim, and Joseph and Mary.

She is survived by her husband Randy; children William (and Amanda), Joseph, Elizabeth (and Thomas); grandchildren Tyler and Samuel; sister Margaret; nieces Billie Jo (and John) and Dianne (and Mike, and daughter Sydney); and nephew Kevin.

Arrangements were by Glende-Nilson Funeral Home in Evansville.
