Sue Ellen Van Abel

August 19, 1947 — February 26, 2016

Sue Van Abel, age 68 of Hollandtown, passed away at her home on Friday morning, February 26, 2016. She was surrounded by those she loved. Sue was born on August 19, 1947, daughter of the late Donald and Bernice (Hopfensperger) Van Abel. She was a graduate of Kaukauna High School and the University of Wisconsin – Madison. Sue loved to travel in her younger days and there was no main road for her. Sue was also an integral part of carrying on the family business.

She is survived by two sisters: Katie Coenen and Joan Van Abel; two nephews and a niece: Christopher (fiancée Sara Baciu) Coenen, Ann (Peter) Golden, and Lee Coenen; the bright lights of her life, a great-niece Catelyn Golden; a great-nephew Marcus Golden; a brother-in-law: Charlie Lindberg; and her cousins and partners: Tim (Nancy) Van Abel, Jane (Gary) Marx, Mike (Diane) Van Abel, John “Gus” (JoAnn) Van Abel, and Patrick (Kristie) Van Abel along with many other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, a sister Pat Lindberg, a cousin Jerry Van Abel, a brother-in-law Earl Coenen, and her aunt and uncle, Will and Duff Van Abel.

The family would like to thank Sue's doctors, great neighbors Floyd and Diane Kempen, Golden Touch Homecare, Vivian Domask, Debbie Laabs, and the incomparable Chris Neumeyer for their loving care and friendship. The family also would like to thank the staff of Van Abel's of Hollandtown for their care and support.

A celebration of Sue's life will be held at Van Abel's of Hollandtown on Saturday, March 5, 2016, beginning at 3:00 PM. The St Francis Men's Choir will be performing at approximately 5:30 PM.
