Suzanne Pfingstag

Suzanne "Sue" White Pfingstag passed away peacefully in her home on Nov. 27, 2018, in Wickenburg at the age of 75. Sue was born in Phoenix, AZ on August 7, 1943, to Harold A. "Luke" and Betty Jane White. She spent her early years living at the Phoenix Country Club where her father was the general manager, then moved to Wickenburg when she was 9 years old. She attended the Wickenburg schools and finished high school at St. Joseph Academy in Tucson, AZ. Her uncle, Bob White was instrumental in starting the Remuda Ranch and Monte Vista guest ranches in the late 1920's to early 1930's.



She served as a Navy wife for 20 years, traveling to Hawaii; Charleston, SC; Boston, MA; Mechanicsburg, PA; Silverdale, WA; and then to Vallejo, CA. After the Navy, she returned to the family home in Wickenburg where the Lord called her to teach kindergarten and first grade students at the Wickenburg Christian Academy for over 15 years. Upon retiring from teaching, she enjoyed traveling to places as far away as Alaska; Lake Louise, Canada; and Australia. Her other interests included: attending women's bible studies, helping her daughter run the Gold Nugget Art Gallery for many years, and spending time with her family.



Sue is lovingly remembered by her husband, Bill, of 55 years; daughters Cindy Logan and Pam (Charlie) Rehfeldt; brother Lew (Judy) White; grandchildren Spencer (Hillary) Logan, Nathan Rehfeldt, Maggie Rehfeldt, and Ian Rehfeldt; and her only great-grandchild, Presley Mae Logan. Sue was preceded in death by her parents, Luke and Betty White.
