Carol Suzanne (Morey) Deering died peacefully Thursday, October 22, 2020, at JourneyCare in Barrington, Illinois. She was born on December 15, 1941, in Evanston, Illinois to Ethel Nolan Morey and Selah E. Morey. She grew up in Forest Lake and later moved to Schaumburg, Palatine, and finally Huntley, Illinois.
She married Leroy Donald Deering on August 29, 1957. He was the love of her life, and they were blessed to share 62 years of marriage. Together, they had, and are survived by, three children: Robert (Cynthia), Connie (Terry), and Richard (Courtney) who they raised at the home they built together in Inverness in 1967. They were proud grandparents to Ryan (Amanda), Timothy, Christopher, Brett (Hannah), and Trent (Lindsey). They were great grandparents to Nora, Ruby, Alice, and soon to be baby Henry. She is also survived by her sister, Betsy Boatz, and her two nieces, Katie and Emily.
Susie loved being a homemaker, supporting Leroy in the family business, volunteering in the Seeds and nursing home ministries at their church, and helping and encouraging their friends. She was a kind and gentle spirit who knew Jesus and showed His love in simple acts, compassion and help when it was needed.
She was preceded in death by Leroy when he passed unexpectedly on May 19, 2020. She could hardly imagine life without him. She will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by many. Due to the current situation, a celebration of life for Leroy and Susie will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Willow Creek Church Huntley or JourneyCare Care Center in Barrington. For further information, please call the funeral home at 847-515-8772.

I am extremely blessed to have known Lee & Susie for a few months - I share your loss & regret their passing
It is with great sadness to hear of Susie's passing and happy she in in heaven with the love of her life Leroy. They were part of a group of 7 couples dating back in the late 1950's from the the Old Schaumburg area, We spent many good times at each other's home, Blue Moon Wood Dale Fire hall, and the Moose Lodge, not to forget the burgers at Bennie Millers 59 and Irving. Our families and their children are blessed to have shared these special memories. We are now down to 4 wives and just 1 guy Norm, who was a great ball player until he broke his leg at Howie and Barb house. RIP Susie, you have had a tough struggle the past 5 months and now join Leroy to celebrate his birthday with Jesus in heaven. You and Leroy brought tons of memories that will be in our hearts forever. Love one of the 5 remaining Margie Olofson Jasinski

Susie and LeRoy lived on the street behind my home. I remember the day they moved to Huntley - I cried because it felt like I lost part of my family. Over the years Susie and LeRoy were always so good to me - when I divorced they were supportive and always helpful. Susie and LeRoy were two of the most special people I have ever met in my entire life. Peace be with them always - I'm delighted they are in heaven together.
