Susan
Hoeppner, 58 years old. Most of us would agree Susan, Sue, Susie Q
was one of the kindest, gentlest and most thoughtful souls, inspiring
us all with her gracious example of warmth. She was always placing
others first. As her husband, sons, sisters, mother, father and
friends, we certainly have been fortunate. Please pray for her as she
makes her way to the light.
In
her words: Susan is survived by her husband of 30 years; her son
Marc; her parents, Claire and Leo Maguire; sisters Barb Ash, Cathy
Vadnais, Mary Redington, and Ellen Emery, and their families and
Joe’s family.
Susan
was predeceased by her son Paul in 2018. After Paul’s death by
suicide, she lost her way. She was so grateful for the support of her
family, her friends and her community.
Still,
the loss was too heavy to carry, and she died with a broken heart.
Give
‘em hell, Susie!
On
March 11, 2025, Sue lost her courageous battle with grief and took
her life.
Words
cannot convey the selfless and thoughtful love Susan shared with her
family and community.

Church in Hinesburg on March 19, 2025, from 4 to 7 p.m. Please bring
a cut flower to be placed on the altar as an offering and to honor

A
