Tim and family, we are so sorry for your loss. Susan was such a beautiful person. My mom, June Viera thought alot of her. She was so nice after my mom passed away and taking care of my mom's scholarship fund. Susan will be dearly missed.

I'm not a guest, I'm Sue's husband, Tim. I want to thank everyone for all the kind words, thoughts and support. Please check out her blog also  caringbridge.org/visit/susantrimmer
Thank you again, love. Tim

I am so thankful for the impact Sue had on my life. It was in 2010 when she brought a project (to this day I cant remember what it was) to my class while finishing up my first associates. I was only interested in helping, but eventually Sue inspired me to lead the project. It was the first time I had done anything like that. The project ended up getting cancelled but it was a mere stepping stone into my future in leadership. It was because of Susan's opportunity that I pursed many leadership opportunities at LCC. Opportunities if it had not been for Susan's belief in me. She was a great individual who I only knew for a short period of time. I was extremely shocked when I heard she had passed recently. I only wished I could have heard of this sooner. So that I may have attended her celebration with friends and family. Susan was and still is my inspiration to help lead others and educate future leaders. I just want to say thank you again to Susan's family for their loved ones contribution to my life.

My love and  prayers  go out to the family. We in the  Michigan American  
Council on Education Network  and its Executive board  respected loved and cherished Sue both as a higher education professional and friend.
May knowing that she made a difference in our lives and profession  help sustain you at this very sad time.

I was so blessed to have met Sue a few months before she became Sue Trimmer. We had an instant connection due to her warmth and enthusiasm for life. A very special person, her generous and loving nature will be missed by all who knew her. My deepest sympathy to her family for the loss they must endure. But remember that she will always be with you in your heart.

Many Blessings,
Robin Cleveland

Sue and I worked together for many years on the LCC Foundation. She was eternally energetic, positive, and devoted to raising funds to benefit students in need. I'm so saddened by her passing at such a young age. She still had a lot to contribute. Many thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sue was a special lady.  She always brought a smile, confidence and caring to any situation she faced.  We cherish our memories and our thoughts go to her family.

It is with sadness that I offer condolences to the Fisher - Trimmer family. Sue was very instrumental in helping me launch the LAFCU/LCC  external scholarship program; she was always thrilled to be on the review panel and a joy to work with. Sue was a great person with passion for her job, she will be missed.

God Bless you, Sue. You will be as deeply missed as you were deeply loved. You were a beloved friend and will live on in my heart and my life.

So very sorry to hear about Sue's passing. We hope you take comfort in her great work in fundraising and various work at LCC along with her great giving and caring personality.

So sorry to hear about your loss.  Sue was an exceptional woman and I feel honored to have known her.  She did so much for LCC.

Al and Cindy,

We are sending our condolences from West Virginia. We are praying comfort and the strength of Christ for you and your family.

TIM,  THE HAMILTON FAMILY WISH TO EXPRESS OUR DEEPEST SORROW OVER YOUR LOSS.  WE PRAY THAT PEACE OF MIND AND UNDERSTAND WILL COME YOUR WAY.   GOD BLESS,  DEE & fRAN

Condolences to Al and Cindy Hermsen as well as the rest of Susan's friends and family.

My deepest sympathy to the entire family.

Tim and Family
It is with much saddness that I write this post.  I found Sue to be so REAL.  She knew the Truth and the Truth set her free!  She lived her life in authenticity.  She was never willing to 'fudge'; rather she did ALL things with excellence.  I will never forget the last conversation that I had with Sue before she moved to PA.  She trusted Jehovah Jirah to direct her paths; and He did!

Susan was always a pleasure to work with at LCC.  She was so committed to the mission of helping students. She provided great service to Lansing Community College and our community.

Like many others, I met Sue through her work at LCC but we became natural friends outside of our work.  She was so easy to love:  kind, caring, smart, intuitive, driven for success in her work. We shared life paths....kids about the same age, similar career paths, friends in common, and even some of the same personal challenges.  I was so happy for her when she met and married Tim and then when she got the great job in Pennsylvania.  We've all lost a sister and fellow traveler.  Too soon, too tragically.  Sue, you lived well and we will remember you always.

I met Sue through Lansing Community College.  She organized a caregivers group that I joined and she was a leader in LCC's chapter of ACE.  I will miss her warm personality and great outlook on life.  I want her family to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.  May your great memories sustain you.

I came to know Sue through our work on the Bill Petry Scholarship at LCC. We were instantly friends because she was such a warm, enthusiastic, caring person. The last time we spoke she was on her way to her new job in PA and she was so excited. I am deeply shocked and saddened that we have lost her. I will never forget Sue because it is rare to meet and be befriended by someone with her genuine warmth and commitment to others. My very sincere condolences to Tim and her daughters whom she loved and treasured above all others.
Barbara Bolin, LCC

I know that Sue danced her way into Heaven, just like she danced her way through life.  I'll miss her but know she'll always be alive in our hearts.

Shocked and saddened to read about Sue's passing. She was dedicated and enthusiastic, and it was a joy working with her on behalf of LCC's endowment.

Tim and family, I am glad I got to be a friend of Sue's.  I am delighted you are going to honor her with a scholarship in her name here at LCC.  I will certainly be donating to that in her memory.

I am So Sorry to hear of your Loss, Sue was very very instrumental setting up the Endowment Scholarship Fund for my Father 6 years ago.  We couldn't have done it without her great communications and follow up.  She was PERFECT for her position at LCC.  What a Sweetheart. I use to look forward to seeing Her and Tim at MSU hockey games. She sure will be missed by ALL who knew her and/or had the privilege and honor to have her in their lives... God Bless You All, now and forever more.

I worked with Sue for many years at LCC, and was always touched by the passion she had for her work, and her dedication to helping students. My prayers go out to Sue's family and all who loved her.

My heart is broken for all of Sue's loved ones.  She was so special and will be missed by so many.  I promise to hold her forever in my heart.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  God bless.

Dear Tim
So sorry to hear of the loss of your wife.  It sounds like she was a very special lady.  Take care and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Tim and Family,

Sue was a friend I could never ever forget or replace. I learned how to be a better person from her and I miss her so much!

I am so saddened to learn of Sue's death.  We grew up together in Okemos. Although I lost touch with Sue after high school, the adventures we had together with our moms in Girl Scouts are some of my happiest childhood memories. I will always remember Sue with great fondness. May she rest now in peace. My deepest condolences to you all.

I am so sorry to hear about Sue's passing. We have lost touch over the past years but I knew her as the most gentle, loving person. We had girl scout adventures that our troops did together. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Sue and I graduated from Okemos High School together and were friends through college.  She was a lovely person and good friend.  I am so saddened by her passing.  My deepest sympathy to her family.

Tim, we are so very sorry to hear of your loss.  You and the family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Tim, I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  I really liked Sue.  Keep in touch.  Nick Panessidi  n.panessidi@sbcglobal.net

I was just thinking of you a few days ago when I put on my hand-blown bead bracelet and remembered that we were both drooling over them at the LCC Foundation Silent Auction and BOTH ended up getting them! I'm glad you had it's twin. Thinking of you, knowing that you're looking over your family and friends during their time of sorrow.

We were truly saddened to learn of Sue's death.  She was such a vibrant, caring and generous person.  She was like a second mother to our daughter, Emily, when the girls were growing up in Williamston. She was taken much to young, but may your memories sustain you in this time of loss.

May God Grace the Family of Susan with His Great Love and Great Memories to give the Comfort at this time of loss.
Love and Prayers
