Died 3/31/2025
Margaret "Sue" Dalzell (née
Bauder), age 85, passed away peacefully on March 31, 2025, in
Gresham, Oregon.
Born on September 16, 1939, in
Rushville, Nebraska, Sue was the daughter of George Erving
Bauder and Zoe Mildred Bauder. She graduated from Lewiston High
School (Idaho) and went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Music
from Abilene Christian College. Later, she obtained a second
Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Northwest Nazarene
College.
On March 25, 1959, Sue married Richard Lyle
“Dick” Dalzell in Twin Falls, Idaho. Their marriage was a
lasting partnership grounded in shared faith and love for music
and family. Dick preceded her in death in 2009.
Sue
dedicated her career to education, teaching elementary music in
Nyssa and Ontario, Oregon, and later elementary school in
Ontario and at Columbia Christian Schools in Portland. She also
gave private voice lessons for many years in Ontario, Portland,
and Salem. Her students valued her musical expertise and the
warmth she brought to every lesson.
Music was a lifelong
passion for Sue. She sang as a soloist and choir member in
numerous groups, sharing her voice at weddings, family
gatherings, church services, and more.
A baptized and
lifelong member of the Church of Christ, Sue’s faith guided her
life. She actively participated in Bible Study Fellowship groups
and maintained a rich prayer life, filling journals with prayer
requests and noting answered prayers.
She is lovingly
remembered by her sons, Dan Dalzell (Lani) and Randy Dalzell
(Charlene); grandchildren, Hannah Nobes (Tyler), Micah Dalzell,
Caleb Dalzell, Levi Dalzell, Allison Dalzell, DJ Dalzell, and
Matthew Dalzell (Mikel-Ann). She was preceded in death by her
husband, Dick, her parents, and her sister, Mary Zoe Womack.
