July 7, 1951 — October 23, 2020

Susan E. Schwerbel, 69, passed away on October 23, 2020. She was born on July 7, 1951 in Appleton, the daughter of Leland James and Lucile Lydia (Johnson) Schwerbel. She earned a BS degree from UW Green Bay. She was an excellent cook. As such, she served residents of Brewster Village Nursing Home as a cook for 34 years until she retired. She had a generous and giving spirit, and was always appreciative of others kindnesses to her. Over a period of years she shared the gift of life by donating over 30 gallons of blood. After her death, her corneas were donated to give the gift of sight.

Sue loved her family and friends. She also loved her cats, Pepper, Dickens, Sambo, Sheba, Midnight and Misty, as though they were her children.

She was survived by her niece Lisa (James Cripe) Schwerbel Cripe; her nephew Jamie (girlfriend Hope) Schwerbel, and their son Brandon.

Sue was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Steven Lee Schwerbel, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Sue felt great joy when she became a member of the Appleton Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints over 15 years ago, and later attended the churches temple frequently in Chicago.
