Susan E. Repenshek

Susan E. Repenshek was called home to heaven on November 2, 2023, after fighting a courageous 7-year battle with Parkinson’s Disease. She was born in Oshkosh on December 2, 1946, to George and Norma Maxwell who preceded her in death. She graduated from Mercy Hospital’s radiography school and worked as a radiologic technologist for Mercy (Ascension) hospital and clinic for 40 years. She was married to loving husband, Tom, for 54 years. She is survived by her husband and 3 sons: Robb (Lisa), Chris (Jen), and Brian (Mary). Grandchildren: Ryan, Owen, Alex, Abby and Eli were a special part of her life. She always considered herself to be twice-blessed with children and grandchildren. She is further survived by siblings Mary (Jim) Pingry, Ann (Fritz) Fox, Greg (Carolyn) Maxwell and Jane Maxwell. Also, brother-in-law Rick (Kristine) Repenshek and sister-in-law Linda Repenshek. Sue always loved everything outdoors and winter was her favorite season. Her summertime passion was golf and she golfed over 150 courses in Wisconsin and several in 12 other states. She enjoyed line dancing at the Senior Center and missed the classes when Parkinson’s finally said “No”. She did volunteer work including delivering warm meals to home-bound residents in Oshkosh and also took special care of her mother in her later years. Her wishes were to have a private service for family. Grieve a little then be thankful for all of the good times shared with family and friends. The family would like to give a special thank you to the staff at The Residence at Oshkosh, Heartland Hospice Care and to Father John for Helping us through this time. If interested a donation can be made to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research in memory of Sue. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. (Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die!) Poem by Mary Frye.
