Susan Biedenbender, 86 years old of Kenosha, WI passed away on Monday, June 3, 2024.
She was born December 12, 1937, in Kenosha, WI to the late Carlton and Paula (Behrens) Gaffron. She married her husband Frederick Biedenbender, on December 29, 1963, who later preceded her in death in 1989.
She was a school secretary for many years at Huron Valley Lutheran High School. During that time, she went to night school to get her degree in nursing. She obtained her bachelor’s in nursing and worked at Annapolis Hospital in Westland, MI. After Fred’s passing, she decided to move back to her hometown to be closer to her sister Anne Liddicoat. Together with her brother in-law Artie they played countless hours of cards most evenings. She was a steady member at St. Mary’s Lutheran Church. She loved to tend to her flower garden and travel. She traveled throughout the United States as well as Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the UK. Most grandchildren call their grandmother “grandma” but to hers, she has always been “Goosie.”
Survivors include her children, Christopher Biedenbender and Molly (Dana) MacDonald Foster; grandchildren, Claire, Vonnie, Zoe, and Liam; sister, Annie (Artie) Liddicoat; nieces, Betsy and Katie; nephew, John; great-nieces, Hannah and Paula Jane; and great-nephew, Jack.
