Susan Mary Rutta, 66
As a world traveler, Sue believed in the preciousness of life. She was a role model of real love, commitment, and friendship to her husband of 42 years, Ralph Rutta; a travel companion like no other. The picture of strength and composure, Sue was a wife, sister, aunt, great-aunt, and friend that could be counted on whatever life would throw your way. A woman with the tenacity to get the job done!
Born January, 25th, 1947 to Eleanor (Liebe) and Casmir Walenski, she was one of 5 children. She has three sisters, Barb (Richard) Pavelski, Becky (special friend Pete) Walenski, and Fawn (Jonathon) Walenski-Thays that will carry on her memory. She is preceded in death by her parents and brother, Michael J. Walenski.
With a B.S. from UWGB, and a Masters of Management from Cardinal Stritch, Sue dedicated 30 years to Portage County Health and Human Services as office manager. After retirement, she was committed to serving our county residents as a Benefit Specialist for the Department of Aging.
Sue was a woman of few words but much influence, and many lives will never be the same because of it.
