Mt. Pleasant – Susan Ellen Benik, 60, passed away at home surrounded by her family on Tuesday, July 24, 2018. She was born in Racine on September 30, 1957, daughter of the late Eugene and Geraldine (nee: Davis) Gedemer. She was a 1975 graduate of Case High School, and then studied to be a Dental Assistant at Gateway Technical Institute. She was married in St. Richard's Catholic Church on May 22, 1993 to Steven M.

Sue enjoyed camping with Steven and their boys, boating and the beach and cruising in the Bahamas and Caribbean islands. And of course, she was a Green Bay Packer fan. She was a talented knitter and even won a Blue ribbon at the Wisconsin State Fair. She loved animals and often kept several dogs at home.
