Susan K. Condon, 61, a 12 year breast cancer survivor died November 2, 2014 at her home surrounded by her family from complications of West Nile and Lymphoma. Sue was born June 22, 1953 in Sidney, Nebraska to Clarence and Lillian (Treinen) Hare. She graduated from St. Patrick’s Catholic High School in 1971. On March 11, 1972 she married William “Bill” Condon at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in North Platte.
Bill and Sue worked side by side for 40 + years. Together they worked at Central Distributing and then on their own they started Condon’s Signs, and are the current owners of Floral Lawns Memorial Gardens. Sue worked for the North Platte Public Schools where every teacher and substitute teacher will remember the pleasant voice of Sue while she spent hours coordinating the subs daily for many years.
Sue’s talents included decorating homes. Many hours were spent with her clients during her many years as a representative of Home Interiors. Other homes have since been decorated with Sue’s own artwork. Sue was proud to have survived breast cancer, it was 12 years ago that Sue attended her first Painting Princess’ Class where her artistic talent blossomed.
Hundreds have been lucky enough to attend Sue’s Party With a Brush classes where she made everyone feel like Picasso and every attendee left with a masterpiece of their own.
She gave generously of her time and volunteered countless hours to the Miss Nebraska Pageant. Other volunteer activities include Relay for life, RSVP, Downtown Merchants, Kids Club, and PTA.
You could always count on Sue to be heard in the grandstands cheering on her special teams and her children and grandchildren, as she was their #1 fan!
