She was a National Board Certified Teacher. Susie enjoyed assisting teachers at Washington Elementary School in Bloomington in her spare time.

Susie was a dedicated mother and grandmother. She was a fierce mama bear, who felt it was her job to protect and take care of everyone she cared about. Susie was a true friend. Everything she did was done with purpose, compassion, empathy and so much love. She was incredibly special and touched countless lives.

The family would like to thank the ICU staff at OSF St. Joseph Medical Center in Bloomington, specifically Sarah. You are simply amazing.

As her family learns how to live without her, they ask that you take a moment to hug your parent, child or friends. Time waits for no one. "TTMASAB"
