Susan Kay Hirschman

Throughout her life, Susan made a lasting difference in the lives of many through her career as a social worker with The Center for Youth & Families Solutions which reflected her caring heart & desire to help others. Her work made a difference in meaningful ways, & her compassion extended far beyond her career into her everyday life through the many personal connections she treasured.

Outside of work, she knew how to enjoy life & make memories. She loved golfing, whether it was a friendly round on the course or simply enjoying the time spent with others. Camping offered her the opportunity to relax, appreciate the outdoors, & enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Some of her happiest moments were spent laughing, sharing stories, & making memories with her friends & family, whose companionship brought her great joy. Her quieter moments were spent tending to her treasured tomato garden & watching the hummingbirds that visited her home.

She was also a devoted Chicago sports fan, cheering on the Chicago Bears & the Chicago Cubs through the wins, the losses, & all the unforgettable moments in between. Her loyalty to her teams was part of who she was, & her enthusiasm for the games was just one more way she enjoyed connecting with the people around her.

Above all, she will be remembered for her caring nature, her love of friendship, her enjoyment of life's adventures, & the special place she held in the hearts of those who knew her. She understood that life was not measured only by accomplishments, but by the lives touched, the friendships formed, & the memories made along the way.

Proceeding Susan in death are her parents, George & Nancy, one brother George Hirschman, & one sister Deborah Eggman.

Susan is succeeded by one sister, Stacy White of Atwood Illinois, two nieces, Amanda Noord of Princeton Illinois, & Sara Cooper of Batavia Illinois, as well as two nephews, Matthew White of Urbana Illinois, & Jonathan Eggman of Shorewood Illinois.

Though she is no longer with us, the impact she made on others & the love she gave will remain in the hearts of those who knew her. Her spirit will live on in the laughter of friends & family, the beauty of the outdoors, & the simple joys of life she so dearly loved.

A memorial visitation will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 10 am until the time of service at 11 am at Davison Fulton Woodland Chapel Funeral Home with cremation to follow. Condolences & memories may be shared with the family at Davison-Fulton.com.
