Publish in a newspaper

Rexford – Susan J. Rochow passed away peacefully on September 7, 2025, after courageously facing a three-year illness.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Susan was a graduate of Niles Township High School. She later moved to Northern New Jersey with her husband, Ken, the family settled in Burnt Hills, New York, in 1972, where their children were raised. After a brief time in Schenectady, Susan and Ken made their home in Rexford, where she lived for many years.

Together with her husband, Susan owned and operated Turbo Technology Services, working side by side as partners in both business and life. Outside of work, Susan was a woman of many talents and passions. In her younger years she loved horseback riding, and throughout her life she expressed herself through music and art. She played guitar, painted, and was a devoted member of the Unitarian Church. She also found joy and connection as part of a local poetry group.

Above all, Susan cherished her family. She is survived by her son, Christopher, and his wife Anna; her daughter, Leigh, and her husband Wingate; grandchildren Ivano and his wife Kim, Christopher, Walker and Skyler; and great-grandson Leon and great-granddaughter Olivia. She also leaves behind her beloved nieces and nephews: Jeff, Tom, and Kathy Klanderman, and Rodney, Jeff, and Beth Cole.

Susan will be remembered for her creativity, warmth, and the quiet strength with which she lived her life.

A graveside service will be held 11:00 AM Monday, September 22, 2025, at Gerald B. H. Solomon, Saratoga National Cemetery, Schuylerville, NY.
