I am so sorry to hear of Dusty's passing. I worked with her for several years in the King George. We also went to England and Scotland together and I think of that trip and her often...I believe she told me it was her first time on a plane - a helluva first trip. She was a wonderful nurse and a very special person!!!! - Posted by: Heather MacDonald (Friend I am so) on: Jan 31, 2018

I miss chatting and laughing with her. She helped me pick out a snowman cross stitch which came in the mail yesterday. I will always think of her when I look at it. Family was so important to her and she had 4 amazing kids that really loved her. We all miss you and your family. Thanks for all the memories Dusty! - Posted by: Jennifer Ginter (Friend) on: Jan 05, 2018

I will always remember your mom's patience and kindness in dealing with us neighborhood kids in Grande Pointe. There was always the odd occasion I would be hanging out with Sue and one of us would get hurt. We would go running over so that Mrs. D could patch us up, good as new. The Duesterhoeft family was such a big part of my childhood, I was very much saddened to hear of your loss. Sending deepest condolences to your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. - Posted by: Carolyn Harrison (Friend and neighbor ) on: Dec 30, 2017
