Here's the obituary as shown on the Mole's Funeral Home website.
Susie Impero passed away on Thursday, 30 June 2016 after a long battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) . A lady of elegance and class, she will be greatly missed.
Susie was born
in Bellingham to Fred and Clara Rode, she was the second child in a
family of four and lived in Bellingham her entire life. Her siblings
are Shirley Dias, Billy (Carol) and Bobby Rode. She attended Mt. Baker
High School where she met Mike Impero, who would become her husband and
the love of her life. Mike and Susie were life partners in every sense
of the word. They established and operated a successful business,
Impero Construction Company, for 35 years. Yet, their greatest
accomplishment and source of joy were their children, son Mike Jr.
(Crissy) Impero and daughter Laura (Pat) Frambach. Susie was a loving
grandmother who cared deeply about each of her grandchildren: Mikaela,
Kyle and McKenzie Impero and Caleb (Brittany) and Alanna Frambach. She
was their biggest fan and cheerleader.
Susie
was a consummate hostess who held frequent gatherings of family and
friends. She made all who visited feel welcome, special and important.
Holidays will simply never be the same without her……….. Some of the
things that Susie loved were: reading a good book, traveling, playing
bananagrams, bright colors (especially red & purple), Elvis Presley
music, Christmastime and family gatherings.
Susie
& sister Shirley had an extra special relationship, full of love
and friendship. Shirley was with her every step of the way, full of
patience and determined to take the best care of her as possible. Susie
had the most wonderful team of gals to care for her. These three Amigos
were sister Shirley, Rita Walters and Diane Park. Their love for Susie
was immeasurable.
The care Susie received
from the Hospice team was exceptional! A special thank you to nurse
Carren G. for the loving care she provided.
While
our hearts are heavy and it was difficult to say good bye, we are
grateful that she is free from her earthly body. She leaves behind
memories with each of us that will be forever cherished.
