Sue Mae MacGugan, 68, of 453 Silver Creek Road, Harvey, entered eternal life Saturday, May 13, 2006, at Marquette General Hospital.

Born May 30, 1937 in Munising, daughter of Jay A. and Lula May (Blaine) Carr Sr., Sue was raised in Munising and attended the local schools.

Over the years, Sue had several and varied work experiences. She was employed with the Marquette County Register of Deeds, the State Lottery office in Marquette, as a chef at Wahlstrom’s Restaurant, a butcher at LaRue’s Grocery, was a truck driver for Gambles, drove semi-truck for North American Van Lines, and worked in retail sales at Woolworth’s and Parties Unlimited.  For a time, she also owned and operated her own stained glass business.  Sue’s hobbies were as varied as her employments; she enjoyed singing with the Sweet Adeline’s in Ishpeming, was an avid bowler reaching the 250 series, enjoyed genealogy, was a geology enthusiast, and enjoyed watching and feeding the birds.  Sue was a very active member of the Sault Ste Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and a member of the Elder Subcommittee Unit 5.

Survivors include her daughter, Gladys Brigman-Thayer (Roy) Upchurch; five sons, Bob C. (Marlene) Brigman, Rob C. Brigman, Todd A. Brigman, Rod R. Brigman, and Jay H. MacGugan; and four grandchildren, Hans Brigman, Adam Brigman, Christie Brigman, and Angela Thayer.

Friends may call at the Fassbender Funeral Home on Wednesday, May 17, beginning at 4:00 pm.  Funeral services will follow at 5:00 pm Wednesday evening with Rev. Leon Jarvis, Marquette General Hospital chaplain officiating.  Burial will be made in the Northland Chapel Gardens.
