She leaves behind her two devoted sons, Larry Bennett (Sherry) and Thomas Bennett (Kendra) both of Dewitt. Also surviving Susan are numerous loving nieces, who will carry forth her memory, reflecting the kindness and compassion she imparted upon them.

Preceding Susan in death were her parents and her youngest son, Douglas, alongside many adored pets who filled her life with joy. Susan Jane Wiegman leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and culinary delight, forever etched in the hearts of those she touched. Her spirit will continue to live on through the countless memories shared and the love she so readily gave.
