7. A Life of Service and Heart Born on February 17, 1963, to Gerald and Yvonne (née Lancelle) Kreuzer, Susan was a lifelong resident of Muskego and a proud 1981 graduate of Muskego High School. While her most cherished vocation was being a devoted stay-at-home mother and homemaker, Susan dedicated much of her life to the compassionate care of others. Susan’s career in service began at Tudor Oaks, where she flourished as the Activities Director—a role her perfectly suited for her lo personality was perfectly suited for. She found deep fulfillment in listening to the life stories of the residents and took immense joy in encouraging those who were otherwise reticent to join in the activities. Following her time there, she served as a private caregiver and later worked at a group home for those with Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) and cognitive deficits. Her remarkable patience and caring touch brought warmth and dignity to those in her care.

9. Family and Legacy Known for her innate ability to befriend anyone, anywhere, Susan was happiest when surrounded by her large, boisterous family. Whether it was a holiday gathering or a simple Sunday, her heart was most full when the house was crowded and loud. In her final years, as her health waned, her grandson, Judd, was a particular source of incredible joy and strength.

She also leaves behind her former sisters-in-law with whom she remained close, Deda Kreuzer and Kim Kreuzer, as well as 12 nieces and nephews who will dearly miss their aunt’s warmth.
