SUZANNE BIDDICK NORWAY- Suzanne Lois Biddick, age 71, of Norway, passed joyfully into the arms of the Lord on Saturday, February 16, 2008 at Golden Living Center in Florence, WI Sue was born January 3, 1937, in Pontiac, MI, the daughter of the late Walter Henrion and Hazel Henrion Bernosky. After graduation from Berkley High School in 1955, she attended McAuley School of Nursing in Pontiac, MI. Sue began her nursing career in California at Santa Monica Hospital. Sue married the late Glenn Biddick in July 1965 in Los Angeles. They had two sons Edward and Walter. Sue returned to Michigan and continued nursing at Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital from 1971-1984. In 1984, Sue moved to Norway, MI, to be near her brother Rich and his family, and nursed at the Iron Mountain VA Hospital until her retirement in 2000. Aside from being a compassionate and caring nurse, and loving mother, Sue enjoyed crafting appliqué sweatshirts, making dishtowels, and crocheting. She gave generously to those in need, and always made special treats for family and friends who will remember her for Thanksgiving dinners on the camp stove and caramel corn at Christmas time. Sue was a friend to all, both human and canine, and had many dogs throughout her lifetime. They knew they found a friend when they sniffed out the biscuits hanging from a pouch on the front of her walker. Sue delighted in the outdoors and loved camping on the St. Mary’s river in Sault Ste. Marie, watching the ore boats pass through the Soo Locks. Sue kept her camper ready to head off to Muskallonge Lake State Park or Aune Osborne Campground for sunny days and quiet evenings filled with campfire smoke, laughter, conversation, and of course, s’mores. Sue also enjoyed the UP200 sled dog race, Pine Mountain Ski Tournament, and the Daytona 500; God called her home on the weekend that all three of these were in progress. Sue attended Beecher Assembly of God Church in Beecher, WI. Sue truly appreciated the support of many co-workers and friends. She instructed family to give special thanks to the dialysis team at Dickinson County Hospital for their love, support, and encouragement. Sue is survived by her two sons, Edward (Debbie) Biddick of Norway and Walter Biddick of Pleasant Hill, CA; her two brothers, David (Theresa) Henrion of Shingleton, CA and Richard (Beth) Henrion of Norway; two nieces, Kristin Henrion and Stacy (Chad) Harrison both of Iron Mountain; one nephew, Mark Henrion of Goodyear, AZ; three step-grandchildren, Jason (Jenna) Tibbs of Vulcan and children, Taylor and Kameron, Jessica Robittaile (Tibbs) of Niagara and children, Kody and Kaitlynn, Jamie Tibbs of Iron Mountain and children, Alexis and Alivia; and special cousins Sylvia (Ray) Thornton of Royal Oak, Joyce (Dick) Tenniswood of Rochester, Bob (Connie) Reynolds of Hadley, and Frank (Lorraine) Hayes of Rochester. Friends may call from 4:00-5:30 on Monday, March 3 at the Maranatha Assembly of God Church in Kingsford. A memorial service will be held at 5:30 at the church, with Pastor Dave Wilton officiating.
