Sue was born on February 22, 1953 in Hillpoint, WI, the daughter of Marvin and Mary Hart. At the age of five her family moved to Reedsburg to settle down and build a home.

Sue later became a part owner / operator of Wally’s World as well as an automotive paint sales business in King, WI. Sue married Jim J. Hansen on May 30, 1992 in Lake Tahoe, NV. She was known for her friendly, fun-loving spirit and busy social calendar which included boating on the Chain O’ Lakes, bowling, hosting the annual Wally’s pig roast and gatherings of friends and family.
