Susan M. Elmblad, age 52, of Kenosha, passed away on Monday, September 22, 2014, following a short but courageous battle with cancer at the Hospice House surrounded by her family and closest friends.
Born on February 25, 1962, in Kenosha, she was the daughter of Richard and Janice (Petersen) Van Caster. She attended local schools and was a 1980 graduate of Tremper High School.
On April 5, 1986, she was united in marriage to David Elmblad at the First Congregational Church. They were blessed with three daughters and 28 years of marriage.
Sue returned to Tremper High School, not as a student, but working as a registrar for almost 8 years.
She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and also volunteered her time while her daughters were in school, coaching their dance team, the Tremper Trojanette’s.
Sue’s family came to rely on her ability to plan the perfect family get-togethers and she loved decorating her home and yard for the seasons and holidays. Many family gatherings were spent in her beautiful yard, where she spent countless hours grooming and gardening. Outside of her home, Sue was a devoted wife and mother, she loved cooking and shopping for her family and was always generous with her time; lending a helping hand to others.
Sue will be deeply missed by her husband, David; her parents, Richard and Janice Van Caster; their three daughters, Erika, Emily and Elise; two brothers, Jeff (Debbie) and Tom Van Caster; her nieces, Bryanna Van Caster, Shandon (David) Price and Kristin (Jeff) Shenk and her nephew, Joey (Carissa) Van Caster.
