Born in Kenosha on January 22, 1942, she was the daughter of the late Cyril and Mary (Kral) Lindemann. She was a graduate of St. Joseph High School and received her Associates Degree in Accounting from Gateway Technical College.

On July 6, 1963 at St. George Catholic Church, Susan was united in marriage to John “Jack” Hessefort. He preceded her in death on October 26, 2017.
Susan’s greatest joy was being a homemaker and providing a loving and nurturing home for her children to grow and thrive in. She was a member of the Kenosha Twins Club and the Kenosha Car Club. She was an avid Elvis fan and she liked to plan and take trips, especially on rustic roads.
She is survived by her children twin daughters, Jill (Frank) Mategrano and Julie (Fritz) Hueller by her son, Keith (Heather) Hessefort; her daughter-in-law, Lisa Hessefort; her grandchildren, Alyse (Dan) Mc Bride, Amber (Manny) Ramirez, Frank Mategrano, Jr., Katelyn Mategrano, Katherine (Steve Vey) Hueller and Jack Hessefort; her 5 great grandchildren; her brother, Cyril Lindemann; her sister, Jae Lindemann and many loving nieces and nephews.
