Her cheerful nature and gentle smile, ever faithful to the end, was an inspiration to everyone who knew her. Born Susan May Clark on June 19, 1926, at Hazelton, N.D., she was the second of nine children born to Curtis and Sarah Clark. She spent her early years around Camp Crook and Buffalo, S.D., a hard life coping with life's privations during the Great Depression's dust bowl years. When World War II came she moved to the Seattle area to work as a welder in the naval ship yards. During the latter stages of the war she was summoned to inland Washington to the Hanford nuclear reservation, a place that was new and mysterious to her. She never said much about those years, but occasionally told of the times her job required her to work on unusual pieces of metal that were unlike anything she had seen before. Her superiors were very secretive about what they were working on, never letting them work on the same object twice while continuously rotating them around to different tasks. Little did she know at the time that she was involved in the Manhattan project, developing the plutonium bomb that was ultimately dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. After the war she moved from Buffalo to Miles City to work for the Miles City Bank. While living in Miles City she roomed at a house owned by Albert and Gladys Nitschke where she met their son, John E. (Jack) Nitschke, who was back from the service in the Army in Germany. They were married Sept. 19, 1948, spending the next 59 years of their marriage in Miles City where Mrs. Nitschke worked at various jobs, around town. Susan and Jack Nitschke spent many years enjoying their retirement, traveling and spending the Montana winters in Arizona. Mrs. Nitschke's life defined the type of person she was; incredibly strong with a beautiful spirit and smile to match. She loved her job at Buttreys, which kept her in contact with the public. She had the most delightfully offbeat sense of humor and you never knew what she was going to say next, just that it was always something that would have everyone laughing and scratching their heads at the same time. She is survived by her three daughters, Barbara (Jim) Bender and Deborah (Rob) Zignego of Miles City, and Patricia (Dave) Filler of Tacoma, Wash.; son, Michael (Drena) Nitschke of Amarillo, Texas; a brother, Curtis Clark Jr. of Sturgis, S.D.; and two sisters, Gladys Johnston of Prineville, Ore., and Phyllis Matson of Sioux Falls, S.D. She was preceded in death by her husband, Jack; two brothers, Johnny and Tommy Clark; and three sisters, Laura Fladmoe, Ilean Verhulst, and Alice O'Byrne. The family will receive friends this afternoon from 4 to 6 at Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home. Funeral services will be Tuesday, March 30, 2010, at 11 a.m. at Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home in Miles City. Interment will follow in the Custer County Cemetery. Should friends desire, memorials may be made to the Miles City Food Bank or Holy Rosary Hospice. Source: Miles City Star MILES CITY, Mont. - Susan M. Nitschke, 83, died Friday, March 26, 2010.
