My deepest sympathy to the family. She was the 6th grade teacher I never got to have. Always an infectious smile to share. She will be missed by many. Blessings and prayers to the family and friends.
I enjoyed her as my 6 grade teacher in Minnesota Lake in the late 60s. I hear from my sister Jean she was still subbing in New Richland just a few years ago- what a remarkable lady and to think of all the lives she touched. ❤️❤️Thank you Mrs. R❤️❤️
I just got to know Sue in the last few years. My sincere sympathy but she so emjoyef her life and passed that joy to others
My sixth grade teacher in the early 60’s . I often joked with her about how she made us memorize all the counties in Minnesota before we were allowed to go on our 6th grade trip to the state capitol. Great Teacher! Wonderful person! Thank you Mrs. Robbins.
Sue was not only a great teacher but a good boss. Mrs. Robbins was my 6th grade teacher and I was her teacher’s aid during my Jr. & Sr. year of high school. I got to manage all those math corrections! She was such fun. My sympathy to her family & all who miss her.
Many memories Maggie & Robbie when we went up north. Gwen & Bev. Krosch of Elmore..
