Obituary
Susan Ruth Tyo Johnson Bellinger VanHollan Rollier passed away in Wyoming, Michigan on March 22, 2019 of respiratory complications at the age of 77. Awaiting her birth on May 7, 1941 in Cass City, Michigan were her parents, Frances Perrin and Alexander Elwin Tyo and her brother, Fred Alfred Tyo. Attending schools in Cass City, she advanced to Western Michigan University (Theta Upsilon) and Saginaw Valley State University, thereby earning two teaching certificates in both elementary and secondary arenas. Her greatest joys were her daughters, Michelle Susan Johnson PhD and Sarah Frances Eldred (Mark) and daughter of the heart, Denise L. Miller. Grandchildren, Sera Radovich, Forrest Russell, Frances Elizabeth and Ferris Michael Eldred have brightened her days and years. She loved teaching in the Saginaw Public School system and taught nearly 30 years to students of pre-K through adult education. Susan is survived by countless adoring students. She was an avid reader and crafts woman, loved travel in 47 of the 50 states and cared for many dear pets. She loved swimming, sailing, tree climbing. One of her moments of pride was zip lining at 70. Susan married Major Alvin Rollier on June 30th, 2009 and they enjoyed dessert and the loving presence of each other's company. She is preceded in death by her parents, Frances Perrin Tyo and Alexander E. Tyo, brother, Alfred Tyo and husband, Alvin Rollier.

Susan and I met through ebay (of all places) and then became friends on Facebook. We then emailed regularly and shared our "Mom and Grandma" stories. She was the retired school teacher and I was the retired nurse. She sent me messages about "my team" (The Alabama Crimson Tide) and helped me cheer them on when they played. Although we never met personally, We shared so much. She was a special friend and that type friend is few and far between. I just learned of her passing, as I lost contact. My prayers go to all her family, as they lost a special lady here on earth. She had a special place in the heart of this "Bama Girl"!! <3
