Susan Brandt Obituary

Susan Francisca (Ramos) Brandt In loving memory Susan Francisca (Ramos) Brandt passed away on October 22, 2005 from complications secondary to Multiple Sclerosis. Susan was a loving mother, sister, daughter and friend. She was born July 15, 1957 in Salt Lake City to Jose and E. Marie Ramos. She married in 1995 to Michael C. Brandt. Susan was preceded in death by her parents. Survived by husband Michael Brandt, Salt Lake City, UT; brother Alfred Ramos, Beaverton, OR; sister Linda Van Dolzer, Kaysville, UT; sister Maren Paget, Farmington, UT; son Andrew Brandt, Portland, OR. Susan graduated from Bountiful High School in 1975. After high school she went on to attend Brigham Young University. Susan enjoyed a career as a marketing manager for various high tech companies. In the last few years she returned to school at the University of Utah where she was studying psychology because she wanted to be a counselor to those in need. She loved to cheer on her teams -- the Denver Broncos and the New York Yankees. Prior to becoming ill, Susan enjoyed the outdoors and riding her bicycle. Not only attending the movies in a theater, Susan enjoyed marathon movie sessions at home, as well. Susan will be missed dearly by her family and friends whose lives she touched with her wonderful humor, smile and lovingness. A memorial service will be held on November 11, 2005, 7:30 p.m. at the Fairways Chapel, 1533 North 1075 West, Farmington, UT. Interment will take place in Portland, Oregon. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the charity of your choice in her memory.

I knew of Susan through her wonderful sister-in-law Rita (her brother Alfred's wife) & although i have never met any of them in person, there is a kindred spirit connection & i know how much she will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ranos family at this time.

I may not have had the pleasure to get to know susan in person, butI am blessed to know her son. Through him I have learned what a great person, and a loving mother she was. She brought a very special person into the world, and I feel blessed to have him in my life. She may have been sick, but her spirit was fully alive, and well. Now that she has been taken to a better place, she no longer feels any pain, and she is free to enjoy her new life, wich I truely believe is in heaven. Susans family will be in my prayers, and her son will always be a good friend in my life. God bless you all, much love, kimberly Richey.

I didn't know Susan and unlike most who signed this guestbook, I don't have MS. Your memorial to Susan is so touching and she is a beautiful person both inside and out. Her friends and family were blessed to have her in their lives but it also seemed she was blessed to have them in hers. I will strive to be like Susan in my life. It can only lead to good. God bless you.

I did not have the honor of knowing Susan but I can see from the testaments I TRULY missed out on one of the true secrets in life.

May she know a freedom that MS took from her here on earth and she dance, sing, run, walk and continue to laugh in the light.

May she shine the light on those she left behind to remind them she is still here with them and will continue to be the wonderful person she was and one day feel complete again by all of them meeting up in the light with her to dance, sing, run, laugh and walk in the light.

I too have Multiple Sclerosis and from what was written of Susan she seems to be like so many others I know that also have this disease.

In spite of it she continued to live life, love life and love all of those around her who will never be the same for having known her.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those Susan touched in this life and will again in the next one.

I did not know Susan either but her story touched my heart. A friend in Utah told me about her. I have MS too and admire the way Susan dealt with all life threw at her. What an amazing and truly loved person.

I wish I would have known Susan; it sounds like she was a hoot and my kind of person.

I too learned of Susan's death from our friend in Utah and wanted to let you all know how saddened I feel.

Peace be with all of you.

What a beautifully written remembrance of your dear Susan. She sounds like a wonderful mother, wife, and friend. I wish we had been friends in this life. Maybe its for the next. I too have MS and heard of her death thru the online board mentioned by others. I hope God (and your Susan) finds a way to smile on you for your love today.

My heart and condolences to all of Susan's family and friends.

I didn't know Susan, but I would have loved her, I know. My dear friend in Utah told me about this opportunity to offer my regret for your great loss.

I too have MS. Your description of Susan's humor and warmth in dealing with this disease has reminded me of what is important in this life.

Thank you, and through you, Susan.

I did not know Susan, but I share the kinship of MS with her. This disease can wreak havoc on everyone that it touches. I hate that such a wonderful woman had to succumb to this dreaded disease. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I didnt know Susan, but heard of her death thru an online support group. One of the members was touched and shared her obit with us. I think Susan would be pleased that even in her passing, she has helped others with MS to think and look at ourselves in a way that we hadnt before.

My condolenceses to her family, she will surely be missed.

I am sorry to say that I did not know your Susan, she sounds like she was an incredibly strong woman. I also have MS and would like to hope that I could live with as much grace, joy and humor as she did.

A friend in an online MS community was so deeply touched by Susan's story that she shared it with us.

Thank you for sharing her spirit. Peace to you and your family.

Heck, I don't know what to say. I'm sorry, really sorry, that Susan passed away. I wish I had known her, I am a fellow person with MS. It sounds as if Susan was well loved and supported. She and her familiy really will be in my thoughts and prayers, though I did not know her. We with MS are a community, whether we know one another or not.

What a beautiful testimony to a life well lived and someone truly loved.

A loving woman with sparkle in her spirit that is conveyed even thru a photograph...to me, a person she never met, someone her family does not know. A friend who lives in Utah saw this, and told me about your beloved Susan.

I also understand the deep pain and anger of losing someone you love so much to this disease. My father, and I myself have it.

Truly... from the bottom of my heart, my deepest sympathy to all of you.

I didn't know Susan, but her story really touched me. I also have MS and try to deal with it with humor, as Susan obviously did. Thank you for allowing her wonderful personality to shine through what would otherwise be simply a sad obituary. God bless your family and Susan will most certainly be receiving cards from people all over the country with MS.

October 27, 2005

I am a total stranger and have never met Susan. I found out about her death through a message board that I find support through for my MS.

I would like to send my heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends of this lovely woman. Having MS myself I know what a mysterious MonSter this disease is.

The fact that she maintained a sense of humor throughout is so important. We have to find humor in the face of the unknown. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know that God just has another angel up there looking over the shoulder of the MS researchers.

God Bless you all.
