Meridel Sue Mack (Nee Wonders), age 83, of Livonia, Michigan passed away on Friday, July 19, 2019. Beloved mother of Laura (Kevin) Zajac and Kristen (David) Lewey. Proud grandmother of Hannah, Olivia and Alexandra. Dearest sister of Sherry (Ray) Serpa. Cherished aunt and godmother of Michael (Evonne) Serpa and Andrew (Cindy) Serpa.
Sue was born in Detroit, the eldest of two daughters to Ralph and Bernice Wonders. She was raised in Dearborn, graduated from Fordson High School in 1954 and Michigan State University in 1958 with an Elementary Education Certification. Early in her career, she taught elementary school in both Dearborn and Birmingham. She left the teaching profession to raise her family and later, used her keen sense of art and design in her second career as an interior designer and commercial furniture representative. Compassionate and empathetic, she was a great friend to many, all throughout the various stages of her life. She loved her children and grandchildren fiercely and was very proud of all their accomplishments. While her passing leaves a tremendous void, her family is grateful that she is at peace with her heavenly family.
