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.
