[patyrn]

Loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, Susan "Susie" Teague entered into eternal rest peacefully at the young age of 59 on February 7, 2023 after her long and difficult battle with melanoma cancer.  She was born Octobe3r 24, 1963 in Fort Huachuca, Arizona to John and Pat Sweet, their third child.

When Susie was two years old, her parents moved the family back to Grenola, Kansas to help with the family grocery store.  She attended Burden High School in Burden, Kansas where she set records in track and shot put.  Susie worked various jobs throughout her young life including helping out in the family store, waitressing, and other odd jobs. 

Susie always had a passion for music, specifically singing, song writing, and playing guitar.  In May of 1989, the band S.I.G.M.A. was formed, and over the next thirty years, Susie wrote a majority of their 140 songs.  By September of 1989, Susie started dating Kenny Teague.  The two of them asked Jesus into their hearts in April of 1994, starting a lifelong walk and devotion to Jesus Christ, a faith that they would pass on to all their children.  In 1998 after dating for seven years, Susie married Kenny, creating a beautiful blended family of children which included Wendy, Megan, Davin, Andy, and Misty.

It was during this time they demonstrated their love for the Lord by becoming youth group leaders and going on missionary trips.  In 1996, Susie and Kenny became members of the Grenola United Methodist Church and were the youth group leaders for 14 years and went on many mission trips, most notably Haiti in 1998 and 1999, working on a dental clinic, hospital, and school.  In 2005, they went to Dulac, Louisiana to help rebuild a church two months after Hurricane Katrina.  Other missionary work included traveling to Monterrey, Mexico, Taos, New Mexico, and El Paso, Texas.  On every mission trip, they would take their guitars and play their music.  By 1997, they started preaching in churches, and by 2003, they both became certified lay ministers.  In 2006, they started Teague Construction where they worked on numerous jobs that she took great pride in. 

Susie was preceded in death by her mother, Pat Sweet, and is survived by her father, John Sweet; sister, Shari (Lenny) Peras; brothers, Todd Sweet and Tony (Will) Sweet; her husband of 33 years, Kenny Teague; daughters, Wendy (Marcus) Dunkin, Megan (Ron) Babin, and Misty (Miles) Jacobsen;and sons, Davin (Holly) Blizard and Andy (Heather) Teague.  She will be fondly remembered by her numerous grandchildren including Sara, Ashley, Madison, Colziah, Kymber, Logan, Konner, Garrett, Hunter, Madilyn, Layla, Kaizen, Everlyse, Nathan, and Raegan.

Susie was a Godly woman and an incredibly strong warrior.  She left a legacy to her family of God's amazing love and grace and was an example of faith to all who knew her.  We look forward to the day that we will be reunited in the Kingdom.
