Kuehl in Dodge County, Wisconsin. They raised one son, Bruce Allan, together. Susan has lived her entire life in Monona and the Madison region. After suffering a stroke several years ago, she made significant progress in her recovery and lived a pleasant life at Oakwood Village Assisted Living until her death. She enjoyed the instructors, staff, and friends she met while living at Oakwood.
She shared her birthday and Mother’s Day sweets with children, did all of the arts and crafts, went to church, and left a lasting impression on the house. Susan possessed a terrific sense of humor. She was passionate about taking care of others and making them happy. She loved to travel and had visited Ireland, among other places. She enjoyed shopping alone and with her grandkids, whom she cherished. Susan was a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan who would watch every game on television, even as her vision deteriorated.
Susan was predeceased by her second husband, Robert Roush, in 1992; her third husband, Robert Whelan, in 2005; her father, Arthur, and mother, Linda; brothers, Franklyn “Toddy” and Earl; and sisters, Bernice and Adeline. She is survived by her first husband, Ray; her adored son, Bruce; three granddaughters, Kelsey, Katelyn, and Kristina Kuehl; and a number of relatives, nieces, and nephews. Sue’s charm, kindness, and gentle spirit will be missed by everyone who knew her. In the future, she will be remembered with a Celebration of Life.
