Susan Frances Cunningham was born March 2, 1954, in Bismarck, N.D., the daughter of Clarence "Red" and Yvonne (Starkle) Cunningham. Early in her childhood, she and her family lived in several cities in the United States before settling in Sergeant Bluff. She attended school in Sergeant Bluff and graduated from Sergeant Bluff-Luton High School in 1972.

She was united in marriage to Dennis Fletcher on Feb. 2, 1974, in Akron. They lived in Sioux City for a short time before moving to Bronson, Iowa. In 1986, they moved to Sergeant Bluff.

For more than 30 years, Sue was a commercial accounts representative for a few local insurance agencies. She was employed at Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Agency in Sioux City for the past several years.

Through the years, Sue has enjoyed bowling, golfing and traveling. She enjoyed watching NASCAR and her favorite driver, Clint Bowyer. Sue was a lifetime member of Wilson Workout. But most of all, she loved the times spent with her family, friends and especially her grandchildren.
