Sue Bowers was born Phyllis Severson on March 8, 1929, in Boyceville, Wisconsin. She died of natural causes on October 3, 2016, in Bend, Oregon. Her family was by her side. She was 87. Sue grew up on a dairy farm with her parents, Eli and Clara, and four elder brothers, Orin, Lane, Don, and Earl. She retained her love of the outdoors throughout her life, and after her husband succumbed to cancer at age 39, raised her three children, Dan, Pam, and Lisa on a seven-acre parcel north of Bend. In response to her father's failing health, she moved the family back to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, in 1969, to care for him. Later, with her daughters, she moved to Frederic, Wisconsin, where she owned and operated Trade Lake Realty before, eventually, returning to Bend. Sue was a graduate of Boyceville High School and studied English Literature at Central Oregon Community College. Although she was a devoted Christian, Sue respected all religions and practices and felt a connection with anyone striving to know more about their place and purpose in life. Sue is survived by her daughter; her son; ten grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Don Gregerson, in May 1964; and her daughter, Lisa, in August 2016. Sue enjoyed adventure. Traveling cross-county by car and train, exploring hard-to-reach back roads, and discovering old deserted buildings made her happy. Her knack for storytelling, a famously active mind, and an impressive repository of detailed memories made her fun to be around. Sue requested that, in lieu of a church service, her family and friends gather privately to enjoy each other and to share memories of her life. Disposition will be observed by the family at a later time. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/224630130/phyllis_mae_olive_gregerson_bowers [S5512] Smith, Julie Campbell, Find a Grave - Ancestor (Gregerson): SEVERSON Phyllis Bowers, (Name: SmithLC.com;), Phyllis Mae Olive “Sue” Severson Gregerson Bowers.
