Susan was born the daughter of Dr. Oliver and Hazel (Weiss) Herman on October 16, 1948. Susan married Patrick Milton on December 26, 1970, in Allenton, Wisconsin. They were married for 35 years. Susan attended UW Whitewater where she received her bachelor’s degree in teaching. She was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and was also treasurer.

Susan was a devoted mother, wife, and partner. She loved traveling and spending time with loved ones. Susan enjoyed the outdoors, gardening, birdwatching, and flowers and was a member of the Nature Conservatory. She was an educator and loved teaching her students, many whom she still has active friendships with today. Although she is survived by her family, her extensive friendships span from California, through Wisconsin and as far away as Mexico and Turkey. Susan was a truly amazing woman. Susan will follow the path the Lord God has set for her in eternity and is joined with loved ones we have already paid tribute too. We await the opportunity to join hands with her in the future.

Susan is survived by her children: Matt (Katie) Milton; Ryan Milton; Allison Milton (Troy Wheeler); grandchildren: Emma Milton; Grace Milton; Porter Milton; Olivia Milton; and Frances Milton; and her loving partner of 15 years, Tony Weasler; and the Weasler family (Children, Grandchildren, and Spouses).

Susan is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Patrick; and her sister Patty Herman.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Sue Milton was one of my very first friends when I moved to California 40 years ago. We shared many confidences about the trials and tribulations of raising kids but also much fun and laughter with her one of a kind presents at our white elephant New Year’s Eve progressive dinners and her infamous dessert-o-ramas! She called herself an “introvert” but that girl had the kindest heart and most giving spirit of anyone I knew. She fought hard to beat this for Tony and her kids and I never, ever heard a single complaint. I will miss you terribly Sue, but you have made a lasting impression on my life. Rest now in peace.

In the many years that my family knew Sue, her favorite phrase was -M-M-M-M-M. She loved food and cooking for others. We shared many Sunday night dinners, Thanksgivings, Christmases and, who could forget Sue's "Dessert-O-Rama! We supported each other when our husbands were away, working in distant cities or countries with Wednesday night dinner at Mimi's, Friday night Mexican or pie and coffee at Coco"s. After retiring and moving away, her Christmas packages always contained gingerbread cookies for me, homemade jam and candies. for Jim. She and I loved good books and Sue was instrumental in encouraging me to become an adult literacy tutor. She and Tony last visited us in AZ after her cancer diagnosis and first surgery. We took them to see the Grand Canyon since she had never been there and she never stopped talking about that day's experience. I think about that day a lot as well. She was more than a friend, more like a sister to me. Love you Sue!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
