Subject: Sad news about a friend of Augsburg College
Submitter: Jessica Brown, Communications Specialist, Public Relations and Communication

Message: Susan (Susie) Molder passed away on Wednesday, May 31, 2006. Susie was the wife of August Molder, best known on this campus for the stained-glass window in the small chapel in Christensen Center. Susie and August were immigrants from Estonia. Susie worked as an interpreter and foreign correspondent for General Mills. August was "artist-in-residence" and taught at Augsburg College in the 1960's, 70's, and 80's.

Susie's memorial service is planned for 11 a.m., June 20, 2006 at Albin Chapel, 6855 Rowland Road, Eden Prairie, MN (952)914-9410.

The family prefers that gifts be directed to the August Molder endowed scholarship for art at Augsburg College, which Susie, family, friends, alumni and co-workers established in 1982 after August's death.
