Susan Lynn Krieger

Susan Lynn Krieger passed away peacefully surrounded by her family and loved ones on November 1^st, 2022.

Susan was a friend to everyone and believed in the power of connection. She loved to dance no matter what the occasion. She was funny and loved fiercely. She had a way of making every person feel appreciated, loved, and seen. She lit up every room that she walked into. She was a natural caretaker and spent many years working as a behaviorist, loving each person she worked with deeply. She was a force of nature and she proved that every day over the last four years in her fight against cancer. She was the epitome of strength and positivity and truly believed in their power. She will be missed every moment and her love will live on in all those who knew and loved her.

Susan’s greatest joy was her family. She left behind her children who were her entire universe;

Louis and Alyssa Krieger, Sam and Jess Krieger, Rebecca and Dan Brennan, Jack and Tatianna, Daniel, and Rachel Krieger. Everyone who knew her knew that her grandchildren, Cameron Brennan, Max, Charlie, and Rosie Krieger, were her pride and joy. She is also survived by her mother, Lois Green, mother-in-law Iris Krieger, siblings Ted and Colleen, Hank and Kimberly, Fred and Candi, John and Sarah, and James Dietter, Katey and Shaun St. Pierre, sister-in-law Sandy Krieger and spouse Andrew Dash. Susan adored her many nieces and nephews. She also had many friends turned family who were the center of her world. Susan was pre-deceased by her husband, Howard Krieger, her father, Theodore Dietter, father-in-law Carl Krieger, and her buddy Karen McGarry.

She would want us to live each day in the present, to dance every chance we get, and to look for the signs. She’s going to keep dancing around us every day. We know that Susan was greeted by her loving husband, Howard Krieger, and they are together again, at peace.
