Susan Sankarsingh Obituary

Sankarsingh, Susan L. (Née Shaleen) Susan was born to Eternal Life on Friday, July 19, 2013. Susan was the cherished mother of Shawn Sankarsingh, loving sister of Kenneth Shaleen of Illinois and further survived by many dear family members and friends. Susan was an exceptional teacher for over thirty years. She began her career as a classroom teacher, then pursued her love of art to become an elementary art teacher. She enjoyed working with young students and helping them develop an appreciation for all art forms. Susan was an inherent teacher, willing to share her knowledge with anyone who showed interest. She excelled and experimented in many visual art areas, including painting, beading, stamping and quilting. Susan was a member of the Franklin Friendly Quilters and the Florida Tuesday Quilters. Susan was a gracious, open, giving soul. She reached out to many and surrounded herself with good friends and co-workers. She will be dearly missed. A Celebration of Life gathering will be held at Tudor Oaks Community Room, S77 W12929 McShane Drive, Muskego, 53150 on Sunday, August 4, from 1:00-5:00 PM.

Shawn--so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She and I met at North Park Academy and shared some great times together--especially the infamous canoe trip to Canada. I will always remember her easy laugh. Peace to her memory.

Dear Shawn,
I have just learned of your mother's passing and am so saddened by the news. I have known Susan since 1960. As fellow North Park Academy students, we shared many great times in high school and after. Susan and her family and my family also went to Edgebrook Lutheran Church at the same time so our friendship was built that way as well. We corresponded last at Christmas 2012. She was a loving, generous, kind person and so extremely proud of you. My heartfelt sympathy to you on your loss.

As a parent I was very pleased that two of my children did get to have Sue as a teacher at Oklahoma/Zablocki School. She was an important influence in their lives. My heart goes out to the family. Judy

I'm so grateful to have had Ms. Sankarsingh as a 3rd grade teacher at Oklahoma Ave. School about 40 years ago. She was a dedicated teacher with a kind spirit that I will never forget. So happy to have shared in her Celebration of Life. God Bless.

Susie How empty this world seems without you until I sit still and see the beauty that abounds because that I see because of your artist eyes. Yesterday a damsel fly, ruby throated humming bird and a spectacular sunset showed me you are safe. You named me The Keeper of the Memories, so that is what I will do. I will keep the old ones and the new ones you show us. Fly high. Shine Bright.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family now and in the days ahead.
