Susan Marie Prime
July 21, 1957 — August 21, 2020
Susan Marie Prime, 63, of Marion, Iowa, passed away Friday August 21, 2020, at Mercy Medical center due to a sudden illness. A Celebration of Susan’s Life will be held at later date, due to the amount of people that would like to pay their respects and the current struggle with COVID19.
Susan was born July 21, 1957, in New Jersey, at McGuire Air Force base. Growing up, Susan traveled to many different places with her family while her father served in the United States Air Force. She graduated from Papillion High School in La Vista, Nebraska. Susan then went on to complete the Culinary Arts Program at Kirkwood Community College.
After graduating, Susan went on to her future career where she started the kitchen at Options of Linn County. She then began working at APAC, where she was a customer service representative. After working two years there, she chose to open her own in-home childcare, which she operated for more than 5 years. Susan then opened a childcare center to be able to care for more children. However, she did not like that she was in the office more than she was playing and holding a child. So, she closed the center and moved back to in-home childcare and continued until 2014, when she suffered a major stroke.
Susan, also known as Momma Sue, cared for and loved countless children and many of their families as well. Momma Sue adopted many people as children and many children as grandchildren. To know her was to love her and there was nothing that she would not do for other people. This loss is felt by many and runs very deep.
Susan is survived by her four children, Edward “Skip” Prime , Vondell “Maxine” Prime, Jordan Prime and Camara Prime; seven grandchildren, Tayvian, Cholye, Kalia, Keishawn, Tessa, Amarra and Layla; four siblings, Charlotte (Jeff) Zelik, Edward (Renee) Prime Jr., Ellen Prime ( Donna Flood), and Donna Prime; uncle, Arthur (Lilly) Wiggins; and two long time special friends, Lisa Scholl and Amy Fieser.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Edward Stewart and Vondell Maxine (Maclamore); and her grandmother, Jensey Benellen Wiggins.
