Susie enjoyed reading, puzzles, and observing nature. She also loved to spend time with her family. She is well known for her witty sense of humor, and you could never win against her on Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune. Susie and Jim traveled many places. A few of their favorite adventures were to China, Hawaii, Florida, Washington D.C. and a big family trip to California. Susie also had a hobby of Tai Chi which she enjoyed for many years.
Survivors include her loving husband, James Brotz, four daughters Lisa Fortin, Kelly (Tom) Gerber, both of Sheboygan, Wendy (Mark) Weber, of Stevens Point, and Amy (Mitch) Birkey, of Sheboygan, ten grandchildren, Danielle, Lexie, Stephanie, Matthew, Alyssa, Michael, Ryan, Aaron, Mackenzie, and Holland, a great grandson, Leon; her loving sister, Donna Kay (Charlie) Harms, and two brothers-in-law, Robert (Helen) Brotz, and Jerry Brotz. She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, and friends. Susie was preceded in death by her parents, mother-in-law and father-in-law, and a son-in-law, Andre Fortin, and other relatives.
In accordance with Susie’s wishes, a private service will be held. A heartfelt thank you is extended to the staff at the Sheboygan Senior Community and Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice for the compassion and care that was given to her.
