Susan Semon Obituary
Family was at the heart of Susan's life. She was a devoted mother to Ann Marie (Robert) Biamonte, Michael (Robin) Madden, and Scott (Maribeth) Madden. She will also be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren Benjamin and Natalie Willem, Kailey and Brody Madden, and John and Ryan Madden. Susan was preceded in death by her father, Kenneth Barkett, and her mother, Lorraine Barkett.
Susan's professional life was spent with the Palm Beach County Business Development Board, where she made significant contributions and was cherished by her colleagues.
Beyond her family and career, Susan's friendships and her involvement in the Lake Worth Jazzercise community were central to her life. She found joy and fulfillment in the camaraderie and support of her friends and the Jazzercise group, where she was known for her enthusiasm and positive spirit.
Susan's warm presence, unwavering dedication, and the joy she brought to those around her will be deeply missed. Her legacy of love, friendship, and kindness will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
A celebration of Susan's life will be held at a later date. Details will be shared with family and friends once arrangements are made.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Hospice of Palm Beach County/TrustBridge in memory of Susan.
May her soul rest in peace and her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.

Sue never met a stranger, her smile greeted you as you walked into a room. A beautiful woman inside and out.

I met Sue when I transferred to Lake Worth Jazzercise. I remember she made me feel welcome and how she included me in her joy of Jazzercise. I knew it would be a fun class if she was there! Her kindness, vitality and love of her family will be remembered by all.

I was shocked and saddened to see that Sue passed. We had many good times when I lived in Wellington. Rest in peace my friend. God Bless your family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Susan through work. She made me feel like one of team from the first day we met. We´ve became friends very quickly. She got me to join Jazzercize and invited me to amphitheater where we danced all night. This picture is from a concert we went to in Delray. We had a lot of fun! I miss her very much and she will be missed terribly

I had the honor of meeting Susan 10 years through work. She´s such a genuine,, kind person who would stop everything to listen if anyone was having a bad day. She´s truly one of a kind, and my thoughts and prayers go out to her wonderful family.

Very sorry to hear. Susan was my first cousin. Lost contact over the years as lives sometimes go in separate ways. We were a close family growing up. Her Mom and Dad were great people. Saw her last about 20 years ago but I thought of her often. My thoughts and prayers are with her loving family. May she RIP.

Sue is a person I love very much. She was always there for me when I needed a friend and never judged. I don´t know how I would have gotten through some times without her. I was inspired by her as I watched her from the stage dancing like it was her last. She always knew how to have fun and always made new friends and welcomed anyone that she meet like she knew them forever. Every time I see a fireman I will always smile because it will remind me of her and her craziness. I will truly miss my friend until we meet again.

Susan and I became friends thru Jazzercise over 20 years ago. We often rode to class together from downtown West Palm and talked of our husbands, jobs, kids. We laughed with one another and sympathized with one another. She was beautiful inside and out. And funny. Did I mention she had a wicked sense of humor. She had so many really good friends because SHE was a really good friend, kind and loving. I will miss her dearly

Susan was my cousin. We spent time together as kids but lost touch as adults. I loved reading herFacebook posts and seeing the photos of her and her family. She looked wonderful and happy in her life and I loved that.
Sincere and heartfelt sympathy to her children and grandchildren. I know you brought her so much joy.
Love to all of you. Sympathy from family back in western Mass

That sparkle as she hoisted 10 pound weights effortlessly and danced like no one was watching. But we were! Susan shined in our Jazzercise family because of her spirit and eagerness to help others feel part of the family. Forever dancing with you Susan!

Sue and I became friends when her son Mike married my daughter Robin. She was such a loving person who so enjoyed her family. Her seat at the table will be painfully empty, but we all have so many memories of our times together where Sue always kept us in stitches. She was an amazing woman who seemed to never tire and she brought a richness to our lives that can never be described. I will so miss smile and her enthusiasm for life.

Sue brought delight to everyone around her. I first met Sue when we were both Jazzercize "newbies." We were close back then, but when my own issues took me away from Jazzercize, our paths separated and I saw her again only at the Wellington Amphitheater concerts, where we would again dance together side by side. I´m so sorry she´s no longer with us, but I know her spirit is still dancing. May she rest in peace and may her memory be a blessing to her family, friends, co-workers, and all who were blessed to have known her.
