She resided in Kenosha, Westchester, Princeton, and Dover, IL. Susan was a passionate gardener who cultivated a large garden every year. She generously shared her home-grown vegetables as well as her canned jam, salsa, and (very) hot sauce. She was a great cook known for her epic holiday meals, better than Anchor Bar Buffalo Wings, and legendary cheesecake. She was an avid fan of the Bears and Blackhawks. She spent a lot of time outdoors and stayed very active till the end. 

 An Irish Wake Memorial Service will be held on January 8, 2022 at the Downtown Pub & Event Center 432 S. Main St. Princeton, IL starting at 3 PM. This will be a celebratory gathering to share memories of Susan’s life over food and drink.
