Susan Ann LaPage, 77, beloved wife, mother, and sister, passed away peacefully December 12, 2023. She was born October 23, 1946, in Saginaw, the daughter of John and Eleanor (Demsky) Pettet.

Susan graduated from St. Andrews High School in Saginaw and Central Michigan University with her Bachelor of Education. She taught for 4 years in Saginaw.  Susan was married to Douglas LaPage on December 21, 1973, and moved to Pentwater that same year.  She began teaching at Pentwater Public Schools in 1974 and worked to develop the entire art curriculum, where she taught K-12 students for over 35 years; she had a great appreciation for all forms of artwork and artists.  Susan also taught history at Pentwater Schools and later in retirement continued to study and compete in online history competitions.

Susan found a great amount of joy in traveling all over the United States, she had a passion for showing her two children, Michael and Christy, all the wonders this country has to offer.  Susan always loved taking her dogs along on the same trips.  Many of the trips revolved around either Walt Disney World or a beach, and many times a combination of both.  Susan not only enjoyed the beach's sunshine, but always loved walking the beach to look for seashells with her family.

In Susan's retirement, she continued developing her art technique by forming pottery as a relaxing hobby in her free time.  She always had a love for flowers, spending some of her favorite times picking them out at local nurseries with her family, and then planting them all around their house. Susan also enjoyed a healthy relationship with Star Wars, where she developed a library of essentially every single Star Wars book ever written.
