Susan Brockert Obituary

Susan Kay (Eken) BROCKERT November 27, 1966 ~ May 24, 2011 Susan Kay Brockert, loving daughter of Jean and Jack Eken; loving mother to Madeline and Jacob Brockert; loving sister to David Eken, Marie Eken, Faye Eken, Lori (Clint) Combs, and Donna Eken; loving aunt to Winston Eken, Kyle and Kalei Combs; and loving team member to her work family at Bensussen Deutsch & Associates, Inc.(BDA). Susan was born in Spokane, but raised and schooled in Bellevue. She graduated from Newport H.S. in 1985. Susan continued her studies at the U. of W. graduating with a B.A in Sociology in 1990. It was there that she met and married Joseph Brockert (married 1989-2004). Their marriage produced two beautiful children, Madeline and Jacob Brockert. Susan loved her family, her work, and her life. She traveled, read much, played many sports, loved to shop, talked with many, and was a vital caring person. Her work family at BDA allowed her to shine. She was truly seen, validated and deeply appreciated in her work. It was at BDA that Susan's special gifts to the world were nurtured and respected. She began work with BDA in 1996 and progressed in 2010 to a position with CPD Product Development Operations. She was twice nominated for their Circle of Excellence award, received Sales Coordinator of the Year in 2008. Susan is survived by her mom, all her siblings, her daughter Madeline (16) and son Jacob (10), many aunts, uncles, cousins, and other family members too numerous to mention; and her work family at BDA. Susan's family wishes to personally thank Eric Bensussen, Jay Deutsch, Rick Rayl and the rest of the people at BDA for all their support, assistance, and caring while dealing with this tremendous loss. The family is in deep gratitude for all that has been done. In lieu of flowers, charitable contributions can be made to the Jacob and Madeline Brockert Trust c/o Bank of America. www.curnowfuneralhome.com

My thoughts and prayers are with Susan's family at this very sad time. I am truly sorry for your loss. We went to school together and played on the same basketball team at Tyee Junior High and all the way through Newport High School. She was a very sweet girl and a wonderful teammate. She always had a smile on her face and a wonderful laugh.

Although we never talked a lot, Susan and I did share some "Mom moments" over the years at Boys and Girls Club and other school events. When something so tragic happens, it makes us all realize how precious each day is. We hugged our kids a little tighter last Wednesday when the letter came home from school. Please know that we are here to hug Jacob too and help him through this difficult time in any way we can.

Please make sure and ask for help if you need it. You are in our thoughts and hearts.

Dear Susan,
I remember Grandma Eken telling us she always wanted a brown-eyed granddaughter named Susan after the pretty black-eyed Susan flower that looks like a daisy with yellow petals and a brown center. She said you were her black-eyed Susan. I have so many fond memories of you as a happy, sparkly little elf, singing in the car at the top of your lungs. I know you're making heaven an even happier place.
Love, cousin Janna
