Susan Landwerlen Obituary
Susan Scott Landwerlen, 81, of rural Mentone, Indiana passed unexpectedly on Monday, April 14, 2025 at her residence. Susie was born on Sept. 11, 1943 in Boston, Mass. to Curtis and Elinor (Upton) Scott. Susie wasn't scared of anything, not hard work, not tough times, not pain, not even giving birth to her youngest son on a dairy farm.
She grew up in New England with her big brother before moving to Indiana during high school, where she met Jerry, the love of her life. She was married on Aug. 17, 1963 in Shelby County, Indiana to Jerry R. Landwerlen, he preceded her in death on Jan. 22, 2016. Together they raised four sons. Over the years, they built a dairy farm, ran a dental practice, an antique store, and even found success making vintage-style mannequin displays. That was Susie – curious, determined, and always up for something unexpected.
She is survived by her sons Thad and wife Melissa Landwerlen of Holly, Michigan, Thane and wife Melissa Landwerlen of Warsaw, Ind., Ty Landwerlen and Gabriela of Warsaw, Ind., and Taber Landwerlen and Emily of Indianapolis, Ind.; grandchildren Hannah, Taren, Graham, Tevin, Avery, and Wilson; brother Langdon "Dussie" Scott of Florida; and her dog Hannah. Susan was preceded in death by her parents and husband Dr. Jerry Landwerlen.
Following her wishes, no services will be held at this time. The arrangements have been entrusted to King Memorial Home 101 North Tucker Street Mentone, Indiana.
