Susan M. Penn, age 68, of Adrian, passed away Monday, December 30, 2024, at Hickman Hospital. She was born in Trenton, Michigan on August 14, 1956, to the late Gerald J. and Shirley M. (Schuknecht) Pier. After high school, Susan continued her education, attaining an associate degree. On September 6, 1979, she married David W. Penn in Rockwood, Michigan, and although the marriage ended, they remained great friends. Susan worked as a waitress at various restaurants during her lifetime.
Susan was a very happy and energetic person, and always had a smile on her face despite her failing health. One thing that was so special about her, was the excitement she showed when she saw any of her friends. She would immediately call out her friend’s name and hold up her arms so she could give them a hug or hold out her hand to give them a handshake. She was always trying to help others and bring them things to make them happy. Her other main goal in life was to bring as many people to Jehovah as she could.
Surviving are her sisters, Lynn (Joseph) Basile and Shirley (Doug) Warnke; many nieces and nephews; and good friend, Susan Alley. Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by a sister, Stephanie Brancheau; and an aunt, Bonnie Dougherty.
Visitation for Susan will be held at the Tecumseh Chapel of the Anderson-Marry Funeral Home, on Monday, January 6, 2025, from 12:00 – 2:00 PM. Funeral services will follow at 2:00 PM, with Brother Todd Rose, officiating. Cremation will follow services.
