Suzanne Stocker Obituary
Dear daughter of Rita Clark (née Love) and Jimmy Knapp (deceased). Friend and stepdaughter to Jim Clark. Beloved and devoted mother of Jennifer Kriegh (née Stocker) (Daniel), and grandmother of Peyton (Kate), Ryan, and Casey (Jordan). Sister of Michael (deceased) (Terry), James (Nancy)(both deceased), John Francis (deceased), Richard (Dieter Philipps, deceased), and Greg (Susan Jeric). Aunt of Aaron, Kate, Paul (deceased), and Kristen (deceased).
Sue lived a life of constant learning and growth. She completed her bachelor's degree in Spanish at Wichita State University, reflecting her love for the language that she cultivated since childhood. She later earned her master's degree in Social Work and served in many professional and volunteer roles advocating for those experiencing mental illness. She travelled widely and lived many places before arriving in Westcliffe, where she quickly became a connected member of the community she truly loved. A natural and prolific writer, Sue kept in touch with family and friends through many letters and explored life's challenges and joys through fiction, journals, and other writings. In her later years, she discovered a talent for drawing and painting. Sue was really funny. She loved to sing and could perform from memory every part in The Music Man. She had an appreciation for the ridiculous, enjoyed a dumb joke, and could spot BS from a long distance.
Truly open-minded, Sue was a deep thinker, a good listener and talker, could persuade, and was open to being persuaded. She genuinely cared about people as real individuals and recognized that we all have value and a unique story to tell.
