Susan Hilgert Obituary
Susan (Glenn) Hilgert, 43 years old, went to be with her Lord and Savior and her Granny on Friday, March 28th, 2014. Susie was an incredibly loving, kind, fun-loving, spirited and beautiful soul inside and out and will be terribly missed by all who knew and loved her. She will be best known for her infectious personality and her undying love for her son, Gage Hilgert and her family and friends. She lit up a room.
Susan is preceded in death by her paternal grandmother, (Granny) Margaret Glenn of Dadeville, MO; her mother, Connie (Fudge) Glenn Eineichner of Iola, Kansas; and paternal grandfather, Archie Glenn of Dadeville, MO.
Susan was born on October 30th, 1970 in the Bremerton Naval Hospital in Bremerton, Washington to Bob and Connie Glenn. She attended Dadeville Elementary School, Ash Grove Elementary, Middle and High School. After high school she attended and graduated Missouri School of Cosmetology. An amazing work ethic she worked in many hair salons in Springfield, MO. An extremely artistic and talented individual Susan faced everything with passion, zeal and a lust for life. She never knew a stranger and everyone was the same to her; all just people and people to her were wonderful. She loved the elderly and those less fortunate than she. She touched many, many lives in her short time here on earth and her legacy of love will be felt for years to come.
Susan is survived by the love of her life, her son, Gage Michael Hilgert of Springfield, MO; her father, Bob Glenn of Everton, MO; her step-parents, John and Paula Eineichner of West Allis, WI; her sister, Robin Byler and brother-in-law, Greg; nieces, Kendal (11) and Jacey Rae (6); and nephew, Grant (3); her sister, Christy Eineichner Patton and brother-in-law, Robert, nieces, Brooke (14) and Olivia (8); and a host of other loving aunts, uncles and cousins.

Suzz, I miss you so much, and there have been so many things I've wanted to tell you over the past 8 years, and haven't been able to tell you in person, but I feel your presence, although it's not the same. I long for one of our goofy car rides, laugh until our sides hurt nights, and a big hug. But the memories I will have to hold onto until we meet again, and I can get one of those infamous squeezes from you again. For some reason yesterday I pulled out some old photo albums that I hadn't looked at in years, and had a lot of our high school pics in there, now I know why. You were reminding me you're right here with me. Love & miss you so much friend.

My Dear friend, I am going to miss you here on earth with us, but I know you're watching over us all and catching up with your Granny. I have never met another friend that was ever quite like you, we had a lot of great times together, and made a lot of great memories. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I wish I had just one more day with you. Until we meet again RIP my dear Suzzi...

Robin, Gage and family - I am so sorry that you lost Susie. I wish I had words to express my sympathy and ease your sorrow. Knowing that you will see her in heaven must give you so much relief. She was always a joy to be around. I'm glad that she is with Jesus now and out of the pain that this world brings with it. I'm praying for you that even in this, God will bring good and purpose out of it.
All my love - Janet

I bet the first thing her Granny said when they met in heaven was, "I need my hair done." Good to know they're in each others arms again.

So many memories and not enough words to describe how much you meant to me. You've made me smile and laugh and listened to me rant during life's little dilemmas, then gave your insight shedding new light on the situation. I love dear and will miss you so very much.
