Suzanne Jean Remillard

   Mrs. Suzanne J. Remillard, 71, passed away at her daughter’s residence in Racine while under hospice care on Thursday, February 2, 2012.
   She was born in Evanston, IL on June 17, 1940, the daughter of Kenneth Eugene Rolfe and Jeanette Marcella (nee: Voss) Beck. Sue graduated from Maine Township High School in Niles, Class of 1958. On December 19, 1959 she married Robert Bruce Remillard. She worked for Laidlaw Transit for over 27 years, retiring in 2004.
   Sue was happiest when in the presence of her family. She especially enjoyed family camping trips and crocheting for her children and grandchildren. Sue could always be counted on to be a good listener and help those in need. She was very special to all that knew her and will be dearly missed.

  Family and friends are invited to meet at the Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home and Crematory on Thursday evening, February 9, 2012, from 4-6 p.m. for a visitation. A service celebrating Sue’s life will follow at 6:00 p.m. with Rev. Kara F. Baylor officiating. A private interment will take place at Sunset Ridge Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, the family has suggested memorials to the Safe Harbor Humane Society in Kenosha (7811 60th Ave. Kenosha, WI 53142) in recognition of Sue’s love for animals.
   The Remillard family would like to thank Hospice Alliance for the professional and compassionate attention Sue received in the past month while under their care.
