Susan Kay Trout, age 72 formerly of Wyoming, MI, passed away September 30, 2023 after her valiant battle with lung cancer. All who knew her and loved her will dearly miss Susan. Susan’s family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life, not the sadness of her passing.
Susan is survived by her son, Steven M. (Billie) Ward; daughter, Traci L. (Sam) Madden; grandchildren Alexandra, Myranda, Jessica, Eleri, Sammy, Breann, and Zach; great-grandchildren Bennit, Sawyer, Fallon, Chandler, Lucas and Lillyann; siblings Kathy VandenToorn, Phyllis Trout, and Michael Trout; and her beloved cat, Corey.
Susan was a caregiver her whole life with her focus on helping others. She always had time to stop and talk to everyone and made friends wherever she went. She enjoyed sending cards to family and friends to remember special days. Susan loved plants and flowers whether they were indoors or out and even would help others nurse their plant back to health. She was able to fix almost anything; nothing was thrown away because Grandma might be able to fix it. Summers at the beach and in the water were special times but most special of all was being with family.
A celebration of life gathering will be held Sunday, October 8, 2023, with a time of visitation from 2-4 p.m. and memorial service beginning 4 p.m. at Cook Funeral Home (West Building), 4235 Prairie St. SW, Grandville, 49418. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.cookcaresgrandville.com for the family. In lieu of flowers and memorial gifts donations to American Cancer Society or Humane Society of choice may be made in Susan’s name.
