RACINE – Susan E. Angeline Costabile, 70, passed away at her residence on August 12, 2024.

She was born in Racine on December 28, 1953, the daughter of the late Joseph A. and Betty J. (nee Cole) Costabile.  She graduated from William Horlick High School in 1972.

Susan began her working career as a Travel Agent. She enjoyed traveling and had the good fortune to take many wonderful trips. She went to Chili, Peru, Germany, Norway, and Australia, to name a few. One of her most exciting times was in Iceland on a cruise when the volcano Bardarbunga exploded and extended her trip.  She always came back with thoughtful gifts for everyone.  After several years she was recruited to work at Rasmussen Jeweler's, where she worked for approximately 22 years.  She was a member of the Kiwanis for many of her working years and enjoyed meeting other business associates in the community. She loved her time at Rasmussen's and considered them part of the family. Prior to her retirement, she was a jewelry appraiser at Goodwill Industries.

Susan was an avid Cub's fan. As such, she was a Charter Member of the Die Hard Cubs Fan Club. She attended many a Spring Training Games and regular games in her day.  Although we didn't understand her Cub's loyalty, she was a Packer's Fan, so we overlooked it. Susan had a fierce love for her family and would do anything for anyone. She was a generous soul who would be the first one to pitch in and help, if needed. She could never do enough. She will be sorely missed.

She is survived by her son, Richard James (April) Hansen; her grandchildren, Delaney and Linus Hansen; her brother, John (Jeanne) Costabile; her sister, Carol (Robert) Thiel; her sister-in-law, Lori Costabile; as well as many dear nieces, nephews, and grand nieces and nephews.

Susan was also preceded in death by her brother, Thomas Costabile and her dear friend, Vickie Stefka.
