Obituary of Susan Jean Kring

Please share a memory of Susan to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

Susan J. Kring, 68, of Niles, passed away on Thursday, March 1, 2018 at Memorial Hospital in South Bend.

On August 6, 1949 in South Bend, Indiana John and Helen (Niedosik) Sieczkarek welcomed their daughter, Susan Jean Sieczkarek.

Susan was very artistic and also enjoyed sewing as well as a multitude of other crafts.  She also loved tending to her garden; planting, harvesting, and then canning the crop.  Susan looked forward to trips to the casino and even had her very own slot machine at home.  While Susan enjoyed many hobbies, she will be remembered for her quiet faith and her love for her family, especially her grandchildren. She was a member of St. Mark Catholic Church in Niles.
