Susan Taylor Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Age 67, passed away Tuesday, May 28, 2024. She was born April 26, 1957, in Detroit, Michigan. She was the family's baby, the last daughter of Raymond and Rose (Wojciechowski) Kress.
Susan attended St. Mary of Redford in Detroit, where she made her first communion and her confirmation. Later, when the family moved, she attended and graduated from Thurston High School. It was at Thurston, through her co-op class, that she began working at DTE. She stayed with them until she retired in 2019. At DTE, Sue met her husband, Dennis Taylor. Because they loved being near the water, they eventually bought a home on Union Lake. She loved jet skiing, entertaining, and cruising the lake on their pontoon. Many happy years were spent there. Sue loved her golden retriever, Daisy, and loved collecting Polish pottery. Sue attended St. Patrick's Catholic Church in White Lake Township.
Sue is survived by sisters, Theresa Kress of Chelsea, and Barbara (Jim) Dietz of Solana Beach, California; her brother, Robert (Gail) Kress of Oscoda; her husband, Dennis Taylor of Commerce Township; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Humane Society of Huron Valley, 3100 Cherry Hill Rd., Ann Arbor, MI 48105.

I have some great memories of Sue from when I first met her. She and her siblings were truly caring children overseeing their mom's needs while their mom lived out her days at the assisted living facility I worked at. Sue was always smiling and encouraging her mom to look at the bright side. Lots of laughing when she was around. We all loved when she would bring her Golden in too. I was thrilled to keep a relationship going with her after all these years and was able to help her with her move back to Michigan. I only wish she would have had more time to enjoy her new chapter back here in Michigan. I wish I could have said goodbye in person to remind her I cared for her. She was a great lady and will be missed. My condolences to her family during what must be a difficult time.

Sue and I would text for hours. We went through a lot of life experiences together in the past few years. I was hoping we would get to spend more time together now that we both lived in the south. She will be missed
