Susan Frederick Obituary

Susan Marie Frederick
September 11, 2022
Susan Marie Frederick (Zaremba), 69, of Arcadia, died peacefully at home on September 11, 2022, after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. She was surrounded by many family members and friends who loved her deeply. Sue was born in Hamtramck, Michigan on September 8, 1953 to Theodore and Eleanore Zaremba, who preceded her in death. She married Bill Frederick in 1990 and together they raised their son, Joe. Passionately devoted to her family, Sue will be remembered for her selflessness, constant warmth, kindness, bravery, and incredible home-cooked Polish dinners. She is profoundly missed by Bill and Joe, daughter-in-law Emily, siblings Darlene, Doug, and Paul, many nieces and nephews, and lifelong friends. Immense gratitude is also expressed for close friends Karen, Lynn, Mary, Nancy, and Kathy who remained steadfast companions and caregiving support throughout Sue's illness. Per Sue's own wishes, no services will be held at this time. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests planting a tree in her honor. Arrangements by Jowett Family Funeral Home.

I was shocked and saddened to hear that Sue passed away. She was the best of friends with my sister, Debbie, who is also in Heaven.

Can you imagine the celebration??!!

I´m so sorry I hadn´t tried harder to find you over the years.

In my mind you will forever be young!

My heartfelt condolences to her husband, son and family.

I've taking some time to think of the words that would make all the pain and sorrow but I could not. The future will be different without Sue, but we should feel lucky with the time we had with her and for the people that understood her. Sue was our angel on earth and now with God.
