Susan Marie Steccato (formerly Dehn), passed away at the age of 55 on January 16, 2020. Susan has lived in Midland Park for over 26 years with her family: husband, Jeff; daughter, Jamie; and sons Jeffrey and Thomas. She grew up in Hillsdale with her parents, Robert and Elizabeth (passed in 2017), and siblings, Bob (Debbie), Debbie (Dave), Tom, Bill (Margaret) and Rich (Mary Beth). She is also survived by brothers-in-law Lewis (Joanne) and John (Linda), 16 nieces and nephews, and 5 great-nieces and nephews.
Susan attended St. John the Baptist and Pascack Valley High School, as well as college in Norfolk VA and Worcester MA. Susan has been a travel agent her entire career, most recently spending 13 years working for Ultramar Travel as a corporate travel agent. Susan was very involved in her community – as a Girl Scout leader, Cub Scout leader, CCD teacher and YES program leader at Church of the Nativity.
Her love of God, family, friends, her work team and clients was evident in everything she did. When not working, Susan loved spending time with her family, countless friends, attending country music concerts and was a true-blue Yankee fan. She lived her life helping others and the loss of this angel will be felt by many coast-to-coast. In lieu of flowers, the Susan Steccato Memorial Family Foundation is being set up at Valley National Bank, 24 Broadway, Hillsdale NJ 07642. Services are as follows: Visitation Monday, January 20, 4-8 pm and Funeral Mass Tuesday, January 21, 12:00pm both at Church of the Nativity 315 Prospect Street, Midland Park, 07432.
