Bender, Susan G. MADISON - Susan G. Bender passed away on
Sunday, March 5, 2006, at the St. Marys Care Center, just
days before her 102nd birthday. She was born on March 17,
1904, in Chicasaw County, Iowa, to Ole and Lassina Paulson.
Susan lived and worked on the family farm during her
childhood. She moved to Madison in 1925, where she met her
future husband, Delbert B. Bender Sr. In the late 1930s,
Susan operated a diner on E. Washington Ave., along with her
sister, Bertha. She was employed by the Oscar Mayer Company
for 25 plus years. Susan lived through the great flu
epidemic of 1918 and told many stories about the epidemic.
She remembered the sinking of the Titanic, the Great
Depression and Charles Lindberg. Susan worked hard all her
life, sacrificing for those she loved. Because she looked
for the good in everyone, she was often called upon to share
private confidences. We will all miss having coffee with her
around the kitchen table, playing cards and the words of
wisdom she so willingly gave us and we so humbly took. Susan
is survived by three sons, Delbert (Veronica) Bender Jr. of
King, Richard (Dixie) Bender of Ridgeway, and Donald (Joann)
Bender of Madison; three daughters, Arlene (John) Patzer and
Linda Gerber, both of Madison, and Sharon (Willard) Wills of
Thousand Oaks, Calif.; 21 grandchildren; many great-
grandchildren; and a great-great-grandson. She was preceded
in death by her husband, Delbert Bender Sr., on June 16,
1976; four brothers; and five sisters. Funeral services will
be held at GUNDERSON EAST FUNERAL HOME, 5203 Monona Drive,
at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 11, 2006. Burial will be at
Roselawn Memorial Park. Visitation will be at the funeral
home from 9 a.m. until the time of the service on Saturday.
The family wishes to thank the staff of St. Marys Care
Center for their comfort and loving care they gave to their
mother/ grandmother, as well as the care and understanding
they provided to all of her family. Gunderson East Funeral &
Cremation Centers 5203 Monona Drive (608) 221-
