Susan Nipper

Susan Jean Nipper of Cadet, Missouri, was born on May 1, 1959 in Escalon, California, a daughter of the late James “Pete” Raymond Hodgson and Hazel (Curtain) Hodgson. Susie went to her heavenly home on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, having reached the age of 64.

Those who remain to cherish her memory include her husband of 43 years, Dennis Nipper; son, Brandon Nipper; Stephanie West, who was like a daughter; sister, Joyce Nepote (husband, Steve); nieces: Kristie Kirchner, Jessica Vogel, Brittney Smith, Macy Pickett, Wendy Williams, Haley Pickett, Stacy Keyser, Tisha Nepote; nephews: Neil Hodgson, Nick Hodgson, Andrew Nipper, Kendrick Pickett, Dominic Pickett, and Steven Nepote; mother-in-law: Bonnie Nipper; brothers-in-law and sister-in-law: Jason Nipper (wife, Julia), Bruce Nipper (wife, Pollyanna), Tina Pickett (husband, Matt); and aunt, Donna Warden. Also surviving are other nieces, great nieces and nephews, extended family, and friends.

Susie was preceded in death by her parents: Pete & Hazel Hodgson; brother, James "Butch" Hodgson; and father-in-law, Rev. Wendell Nipper.

Susie loved to craft, especially sewing. She enjoyed making blankets, clothing, and beautiful dresses for her nieces. Not only did she enjoy crafting, she also enjoyed baking cakes and cooking—Among the many wonderful dishes she made, her enchiladas were always one of everyone's favorites. She loved being a wife, mom and spending time with family. She was considered a great friend, and if anybody needed something, her and Dennis were there for them. The most important thing that she treasured was her relationship with the Lord and her faith was very strong in Him.

The family would like to invite family and friends to a Memorial Visitation on May 4, 2024 from 1 p.m. until the time of her Memorial Service at 2 p.m at Pine Valley Full Gospel Church, 15306 MO-21, Potosi, MO 63664.
