Sue and I had several meaningful conversations in La Crosse where we gathered as affiliates with the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration. We also connected because my parents both were members of Saint Andrew;s after moving to Verona and found there a welcoming community with whom to pray. Thank you, Suzanne, for your faith and example and may your family know the peace of God's love and yours as well. Vicki Lopez-Kaley, La Crosse

We send our deepest condolences to Sue's family. She was a lovely lady. We are thinking of you all. - Verona Senior Center staff

Sue and I enjoyed working together at ECE. She was an invaluable assistant and became a personal friend. We kept in touch after retiring and enjoyed several luncheons sharing our stories. She will be missed by me and all who knew her. Donna Lewis

I would like to thank her family for the beautiful pictures video shared on here. I got to experience a small glimpse into her life that I didn't know anything about. She was both beautiful young, and beautiful in her senior years. But most importantly - she was beautiful inside. She had an unwavering faith in the Lord that was always present in her. Whenever I think of Sue, that is something about her that is ingrained in my memory. Her Love and Faith in the Lord. I fall short of that faith, but she is an example of that to all who knew her. My condolences to her family and close friends, and I send up my Love to her in the heavens.

I remember Sue fondly as a coworker in the Department of Chemical Engineering. She had always a smile on her face and was ready to help. My deepest condolences to her family.

Suzanne took on the role of of being my Wisco Mom, and I have always been grateful for her doing so. Mike, Yas and Crime, I am keeping you in my warmest thoughts as you navigate this difficult time and wishing you hope and healing when you're ready.

Sue was a very pleasant, positive lady. Never giving up no matter the pain. I always enjoyed talking with her at the grocery store, senior center, or wherever we met. She will be truly missed. Our deepest sympathy to u all.

I made a late confirmation in my 40'ies at Saint Christopher's in Verona. Bridget Yallaly matched Sue up with me to be my sponsor. I had never met her before then. Initially we weren't connecting with each other, but through time we eventually got a much better understanding of who the other was, and we gained trust and respect for one other. Even after moving a few years later to Northern Illinois, we still kept in touch. I had hope to see her just prior to the pandemic, and then it came, (and it lasted for three years,) and afterwards I was dealing with some stressors on my end, and I just didn't make it to Verona to see her. But I will never forget her. She had an unwavering faith and love for Lord. She was a true 21st Century Disciple of Christ. I know she is in Heaven, she is home with the Lord. I Love You Sue, I learned a lot from you. Even though my religious path took me somewhere else, your example still shines on within me. Debra Yates

Cele, Chris, Marie and families. I am so sorry for your loss. I used to see Sue often at the Truck Stop restaurant and would visit with her. She is in a pain free place now. Thinking of all of you. Pam Hosler
