Susan Elizabeth Skemp

Susan Elizabeth Skemp, 76, passed away on August 10, 2024, in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Born on September 27, 1947, in Dubuque, Iowa, she was a beacon of kindness and warmth throughout her life.

Susan was known for her caring and giving nature, always ready with a big smile, a bubbly laugh and the best hugs. Her commitment to her family was evident in every aspect of her life, especially when it came to family reunions and gatherings. She was one of the first to arrive and last to leave and always made arrangements to bring her favorite snack, fresh cheese curds. She found joy in her hobbies, which included an impressive cat collection, listening to BJ Thomas, spending quality time with family, and traveling to new and familiar places. She loved meeting and connecting with new people and rarely forgot a face.

She leaves behind a loving family: brothers Sam (Julie) Skemp and Kevin (Kathi) Skemp; sister, Lisa (Tim) Thornton; sisters-in-law Gail Skemp and Doris Skemp; and many cherished nieces and nephews. Susan was preceded in death by her parents, Harvey and Maxine (Droessler) Skemp, brothers Alann and Terry Skemp, and sister-in-law Cindy Skemp.

Susan's warmth and generosity will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her spirit and legacy will continue to live on through the many lives she touched.
