Our amazing mom, Sue (Marilyn) Peterson, 80, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, passed away Thursday, September 6, 2018, peacefully at Eastern Idaho Regional Center, with us by her side, and Rhonda in heaven to meet her.
Mom was born to the late Julian “Pete” and Thelma Miller on December 18, 1937, in Borger, Texas. She grew up in Sanford, Texas, where she was the middle child. Mom spent her childhood roaming the canyons in and around Sanford with Aunt Shirley, Uncle Mickey and the countless cousins that also called Sanford home. They liked to hang out with the “bums” who passed through Sanford, and on at least one occasion invited one of the drifters to come to their home. She liked to roller skate, play kick the can, and of course the Friday night lights in Phillips that sets Texas apart from the rest of America.
In 1956, while working at Barney’s Pharmacy in Borger, Texas, our mom met Jerrel Russum. After a year-long courtship they were married on July 5, 1957.
