Susan Ann Sabinash

Susan Ann Sabinash (nee Bajczyk), known affectionately as Suzi by her friends and family, passed away on December 22, 2025, at the age of 62. Born on April 5, 1963, in Milwaukee. Her final days were spent surrounded by the love and care of her Aurora cancer care team in Mt. Pleasant, where she gracefully concluded her courageous battle with cancer.

Her relationship with God provided her with the strength during difficult times and amplified her joy during moments of celebration. Her faith was evident in the way she lived her life, always striving to be a reflection of the love and compassion she found in her beliefs.

Those who knew Sue would describe her as the epitome of friendliness. Her infectious laugh and sense of humor were a source of light and joy for all around her. Sue's ability to find humor in the everyday was a gift that made life's challenges more bearable, not just for her, but for everyone she encountered. Her playful spirit never failed to uplift the spirits of her friends and family.

Beyond her humor, Sue was a loving individual who cherished her relationships deeply. Her love was a nurturing force, and she had an extraordinary ability to make people feel seen, heard, and valued. Sue's compassion extended beyond her immediate circle, touching the lives of many in the wider community through her acts of kindness. 

Sue's legacy is one of love, laughter, and kindness. Her memory will be cherished and kept alive in the stories shared by those who knew her best. As we reflect on her life, we are reminded of the impact one person can have on the lives of many. Sue's spirit will continue to inspire and guide us, just as it did when she walked among us. 

In honoring Sue's life, we acknowledge the void her passing leaves in our hearts. Yet, we take solace in the knowledge that she lived a life full of purpose, joy, and love. Her journey on this earth, though too short, was one marked by the profound connections she made and the lives she touched. Sue will be deeply missed, but her light will never fade from the lives of those who had the privilege of knowing her. 

St. John Kanty School class of 1977 

Sue was a 1981 graduate of St. Mary's High School in Milwaukee, where she made many life-long friends and lasting fun memories. She also had fond memories of all the Nuns and faculty who encouraged, supported, and coached her. Sue was a standout three-sport athlete, and in 1981, St. Mary's won the state basketball championship. To quote Sue, "some of the best years of my life."

Sue continued her education and athletics at Milwaukee Area Technical College, where she played basketball, baseball, and volleyball. In 1982-83 she received MATC's athlete of the year award. She even received a congratulatory letter for her accomplishments from then Congressman Gerald Kleczka.

After graduating from MATC, Sue began her career at the Northwestern Mutual Life/Goris Agency in downtown Milwaukee and later became an insurance underwriter for the NML/Ron Krizek Agency in Elm Grove.

Though Sue enjoyed her career, she much more loved being home raising our sons and our dog, Benny.

Sue was fun-loving with a great sense of humor.... She loved Yellowstone and most of all the Taylor Sheridan drama series, most recently we were watching Landman... She loved Rod Stewart, John Denver, and most '80s bands. She was a great wife, mom, and was so excited to become a Grandma. 

The family would like to thank Father Tim Kitzke, who prayed over Susan during her last days.
