Julie’s Personal Touch
Racine – Suzanne Jean Haas, age 73, passed away peacefully at Aurora – St. Luke’s Medical Center on Tuesday evening, September 5, 2017, surrounded by her loving family.
Sue was born in Racine on February 2, 1944 to the late Earl and Gertrude (nee: Dederich) Larke. On September 29, 1962, she was united in marriage with Raul Joseph Perez, who sadly died on March 9, 1968. On August 1, 1975 she was united in marriage with Rollin Earl Haas, who preceded her in death on June 19, 2003.
During her working career, Sue was employed with Racine Journal Times, S & R Towing, Nelson’s Dime Store and Lee’s True Value Hardware, from where she retired in 2009. Among her interests, Sue was extremely talented at crafting and enjoyed playing cards with her friends. She also enjoyed listening to classic country music. But most of all she loved spending most of her time being involved with her children and grandchildren.
Surviving are her children, Kathleen (Bruce) Schatzman, Thomas (Lila) Perez, John (Kim) Perez and Rollin “J.R.” (Tiffany) Haas; grandchildren, Lee and Abby Schatzman; Aldana and Olivia Perez; Jenna, Kara and James Perez; and Landon Haas; sisters-in-law, Mary Perez and Dolores (John) Moreno; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends – too numerous to mention by name.
