Susan and Hank moved the family from Gary in 1965 to their home on South 18th Street in Chesterton, where they lived for many years. Until her retirement in 2002, she worked at the J. C. Penney store in the Marquette Mall. Her husband of forty five years died in 1995. Susan relocated to Prescott Valley in 2004, where she lived near Linda and her husband John.
