She was born December 2, 1937, in Rigby, Idaho, to Ralph and Cora Crocheron Sucher. She grew up on the family farm in Milo. She attended first grade in the old three room Milo Grade School. The school was closed, so she attended Ucon for second through ninth grade. Sue graduated from Bonneville High School in 1955. She married Harold Hadley on June 24, 1955, in the new Milo LDS Church. They lived in Idaho Falls, where Sue graduated from Excelcis Beauty School; where she later taught. She owned and operated a beauty shop in her home for many years. Sue eventually worked at Katz Pharmacy and as a the "lunch lady" for School District 91, where she was recognized for her 29 years of service. After retiring in 1997, Sue embraced her time with her grandchildren, her friends in Arizona and the many treasured moments with her husband. Sue cherished her time with her family! Her life revolved around her children's various activities; whether it was on a court, field, or diamond. She loved weekends with her family, camping and fishing in Island Park. She is survived by her husband, Harold of Idaho Falls; children, Richard of Boise, Brent (Stephanie) of Eagle, Debbie (Shawn) Parkinson, David (Aimee) and Brad (Kristin) all of Idaho Falls, 19 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren, brothers, Floyd and Rowland, and sisters, Cora and Virginia. She was preceded in death by her parents, three brothers and one sister. Sue, your positive attitude and love for life has influenced so many people. You are perfect! Sue wanted everyone to know that, "I am so glad to know you!" Graveside Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, April 15, 2008, at the Milo Cemetery. The family will visit with friends from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Monday, April 14th at Wood Funeral Home, 273 North Ridge Avenue.

I was at a concert on Friday when Edwina Young came up to me and told me Sue was very sick and in the Life Care Center. On Saturday I saw her again and she told me Sue had passed away Friday morning. Sue was one of the sweetest people I've ever known. She always had a smile for everyone she met, and I don't believe I ever heard her say a bad word about anyone. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. If there is anything I can do for you, do not hesitate to ask. I lost my mother over 20 years ago. I still miss her and the talks we had. That will never go away, but time does dull the pain you are feeling right now. Love to you Harold, David, Brad and the rest of your family. Linda Guay John & Ginger McKnight mcknightjl@charter.net It was so nice to know her. If ever there was anyone who was a Christian and all around good person, it was our Sue. She had a way to make everyone she knew feel special. She was so good to my husband and me while we were at Henry's two years back. She cut my hair, she welcomed us into her home, (she made her camper feel just like home),and was our friend. Harold, I don't have words to say to you but just know we love you and you are and have been in our prayers. All our love, Ginger and Johnny McKnight John & Darlene Foster We are so sorry for your loss. And its a huge loss. Sue was one of the nicest people I've ever met.

Jared Allen jwallen@compax.net Dear Harold and Family: My life is better for having known your wife and mother. She was a great influence in those early years of my life when we were neighbors and I always enjoyed the too infrequent encounters when I would see her around town in more recent years. On behalf of myself and my parents, please accept our deepest condolences. Mom loved Sue and enjoyed all the time they spent working together with us boys. Our memories of her are all fond ones. Sincerest regards, Jared Allen Debbie (Teraguchi) Norris Mcfan10@cableone.net To Harold, David, Brad and the rest of Sue's family . . . on behalf of the Teraguchi Family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Doesn't seem that long ago that we were on the sidelines watching David and Danny play baseball. I hope you find comfort in knowing Sue touched our lives and she will be dearly missed. To Brad or Mr. Hadley as my kids know him . . . they said to tell you they were sorry your Mom passed away and they miss you at Westside School. Take care and peace be with all of you. Debbie Norris for Ken and Juanita Teraguchi, Danny Teraguchi, Tyler and Kamiko Norris Britta Narum brittanarum@hotmail.com I am speechless. I will never forget one of my mom's dearest friends and one of my neighboorhood "moms." Some of my earliest memories are of the Hadley clan and Stimson Street. I couldn't be there for the funeral, but I am with you in spirit. And I'm sure my mom and Sue are having a cup of tea right now . . . Britta Narum
