Susan died peacefully at her home on Saturday, November 9, 2013. She was 65. She was born on July 11, 1948, in Albert Lea, the daughter of Walter and Rose (Wach) Boyer.
She graduated from Albert Lea High School. Susan married Larry Hensche on March 29, 1969 at St. Theodore Catholic Church. Susan was always a dedicated, hard worker, starting with her work at Queens. She then worked at Streater, Clean-Tec, and was working at both Truth Hardware in Owatonna and Shopko in Albert Lea until her health no longer allowed. Her greatest joy in life came from lovingly spoiling her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed sewing, bowling, fishing, jigsaw puzzles, shopping, and trips up-north. She especially loved her work at Shopko as she saw it as her "social life" and so
appreciated engaging in conversations. Susan is survived by her husband Larry of Albert Lea; her mother Rose Boyer of Albert Lea; three children: Wanda Hensche, Barbara Hensche (Christopher Cords), Michael Hensche, all of Albert Lea; grandchildren: Daniel, Jasmine and Tyler Rodriquez, Nathan Hensche, Alyson Cords and Christopher Cords II; brothers and sisters: David (Maria) Boyer of Woodbury, MN
Sharon(Mark) Moran of Brooklyn Park, MN, Larry(Nancy) Boyer of Bringham City, Utah, Alan(Deborah) Boyer of Maple Grove, MN, Linda Stenseth of Glenville, MN; mother-in-law Norma Hensche of Alden and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. She was preceded in death by her father Walter Boyer and her father-in-law Arnold Hensche. Susan will always be fondly remembered as one who gave with all her heart and never expected anything in return.
