Susan M. (nee Lisota) Tilch

November 18, 1943 – September 20, 2025

Susan "Sue" Tilch, 81, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2025. Born on November 18, 1943, to Chester and Marwood Lisota in Wauwatosa, WI, she settled down in Delafield to raise her family with her husband of 54 years, John. Known for her kindness and quick wit, she will be remembered by many in the Kettle Moraine community for her many years serving as Head Coach for the Kettle Moraine High School Cheerleading and Junior Laser Cheerleading and Dance programs. She enjoyed gardening, crafting and anything involving her beloved grandchildren. She loved playing golf with her husband, and you may have also caught her chatting with customers at Kohl's Department Store where she worked for 27 years before retiring at the age of 70.

She was preceded in death by her son, Randy Tilch, her parents, Chester and Marwood Lisota, and several siblings and other loved ones. She is survived by her husband, John Tilch, daughter, Roseann Good and four granddaughters, Mackenzie, Madison, Jaden and Olivia.

A private family service will be held to honor Susan on Saturday October 11, 2025, at ST. PAUL CATHOLIC CHURCH S38 W31602 Wern Way, Genesse Depot from 10-11AM with the Mass of Christian Burial at 11AM. Burial to follow. The family requests those who wish to express sympathy to consider donating in Susan's honor to AngelsGrace Hospice located at N74 W35908 Servants' Way Oconomowoc, WI.
