Sue, on this 2nd anniversary of your leaving I miss you as much or more than I could have imagined. Our friendship meant a lot to me. I miss talking to you. Rest in peace, my friend.
Susan Begalke of Cherry Hill, NJ was born on July 28, 1943, in Cleveland, OH. Susan passed away peacefully on April 16th, 2022, after a battle with cancer. She remained independent and fought illness until the end.
She will be remembered as a mother, teacher, artisan, and beloved friend. She was independent, positive, creative, and smart. Susan graduated both high school and Baldwin-Wallace College ahead of schedule.
When she was young, she loved to roller skate, play jacks, swim and vacation at the Great Lakes. After college graduation, she raised her two daughters and went back to teaching. Summers were spent at the swim club with family and friends. She loved to teach math to high school students. Her hobbies were reading, watching football and baseball, quilting, sewing and painting. Her most recent passion was weaving where she hand-made beautiful baskets and served as the Basket Guild’s president.
Susan was predeceased by her parents Frederick and Edith Mueller. She is survived by sister Patricia Foust, daughters Anne DonLevy and Lisa Abersold (Mike Abersold) granddaughter Marina Shimmer (Hannah Shimmer), grandson Skylar DonLevy, grandson Matthew Abersold and granddaughter Katie Abersold.
A Celebration of Life will take place in June 2022, in New Jersey and all are welcome to attend. Details to be announced later.

C/O 96 Penn Tech my matje teacher. I always loved her energy she cared and I mean really cared about her student. I will always take with me the way you help me realize just how intelligent I really was. This is a hard hit, because Ms. Begalke you were really and truly one of my favorite teachers. Forever loved your Math Student Vivian Hutchinson.
