While working for a Phoenix bank, a customer came in who she recognized as her high school classmate John. Susan and John fell in love and married in Scottsdale, AZ. In 2001, John and Susan moved to Huntley, IL, to be near their daughter and her family.
Susan is survived by her dear husband, children John (Jeanie) and Kathleen Koy (Kevin), grandchildren Jesse Roberts, Carson Koy and Connor Koy, nephew William Rector, Jr., and niece Christie Rector. She is preceded in death by her beloved parents, brothers Edward and William, and her cousin Kay Thompson.
