She was born in Cleveland, Ohio on March 14, 1945. Susan graduated from Euclid High School and attended Ohio Wesleyan University. She was later married to Douglas Hull Sweeder on December 20, 1964.
Susan worked as an Administrative Assistant at St. Paul United Methodist Church Bloomfield Hills for 25 years, and was a member of the church for 40 years. But her real career was being a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She had a passion for reading, cooking, gardening, birding, singing in the choir, and spoiling her children and grandchildren.
Along with her loving husband Douglas, she is survived by her children Scott (Lisa) Sweeder, Craig Sweeder (Trisha Given), and Ryan Sweeder (Margaret Hudson); her grandchildren Alexander, Benjamin, Brendan, Jacob, Avery, Andrew, Evan, Kaia, Elliana, Isabella, Gabriella Sweeder and Owen Hudson; and siblings Gail (John) Rosenquist, David Bahr (Noreen Boylan), and Janice (Ken) DeLuca. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service for Susan will be held at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Bloomfield Hills on Saturday November 12, 2022 at 12:00 pm. A Memorial Gathering will be held on Friday, November 11 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm also at St. Paul UMC. The family requests that all in attendance wear masks and Doug requests fist bumps instead of hugs when offering condolences.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to South Lyon United Methodist Church and the Detroit Zoo.
