Susan traveled to Denver, Colorado in 1970 where she lived and made great memories to share. She then returned to Michigan where she married the love of her life, Randall Jancek. Susan and Randall married on June 24, 1972, in Whitehall, Michigan, and they spent 53 cherished years together.

Susan was a wonderful, dedicated mother who was always there when you needed her the most, offering support, wisdom and love. Susan was a lovely, classy, fashionable woman. She loved to shop and stay in touch with the latest fashion, also keeping her home decorated perfectly.
Susan was a devoted servant of Christ, a member of St. Paul Campus Parish, Big Rapids, Michigan, and a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Susan is survived by her husband: Randall Jancek; daughter: Amanda Holman; grandsons: Grayson and Jackson; siblings: Karla (Dave) Will, Jim (Gayle) Strasser, and Bill (Alexis) Strasser; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
