Charlean “Susie” Daniels Sonesen, 52-year-old resident of Newcastle, Wyoming, passed away June 1, 2024.

Susie was born in Arizona on March 5, 1972, to Robert and Jeannine Daniels.

As a child, the family moved to Wyoming, where Susie grew and excelled academically. As she got older, she would be known to take on the role of protector to her mother and her sisters, Elizabeth and Rebecca.

After graduating from Newcastle High School in 1990, Susie moved to Casper, Wyoming, where she met Donald Arthur II and later to Billings, Montana, where the couple married. Two sons were born from that union, Donald and Robert.

She divorced and later married Andrew Sonesen. The couple resided in Powell, Wyoming. After her husband’s death, Susie spent time in South Dakota and Wyoming.

At the time of her death, she was living in Newcastle as a caregiver to her mother, and a busy grandma taking care of her grandchildren.

Susie is preceded in death by her husband, Andrew Sonesen; her father, Robert Daniels; great-niece, Kelsee Ford; and both maternal and paternal grandparents.

Susie is survived by her sons, Don and Robbie (Ceara); her mother, Jeannine Daniels of Newcastle; her sisters, Elizabeth (James) Burgess of Idaho, and Rebecca (Jason) Oedekoven of Gillette, Wyoming; and her grandchildren, Drew, Aubree, Tobias, Zaiden, Mia, and Sophia.

There will be a celebration of life service held at Dow Park on Friday, June 7, at 1 p.m.
