Susan E. Petricig

Susan Ann Petricig, 73, of Lewisville, NC, passed peacefully on the evening of December 6, 2017 with her family around her. Susan was born August 28, 1944 to Marshall and Marguerite (Peggy) Trimble in Chicago IL. She was the eldest of four siblings, whom she loved dearly and leaves behind: Paul (Lori) Trimble, Mark (Lynn) Trimble and Darcy (Al Richardson) Bowen.
Sue's 5' 2" frame was packed with a zest for life, humor, tenacity and sharp intelligence.  As a child, she spent her summers at Grand Beach, and throughout her youth could be found swimming, horseback riding, drawing, reading or fishing. 
Sue graduated from Loyola University in Chicago, in 1966, with a BS in Nursing. While attending Loyola, she served as secretary of Kappa Beta Gamma sorority and was on the Pan-Hellenic Council. It was at the University where Sue Trimble met her true love, Ron Petricig. They were married in 1966, and carried their love of conversation, laughter and dancing through their courtship and the duration of their 51-year union.
Early in her career, Sue was a pediatric nurse, but took a hiatus when her daughters were born. She was a brilliant mother, excellent cook, wicked scrabble player, PTA officer and a golfer. She and Ron raised their girls in IL, VA and NC, where they eventually settled for the next 30 years, and where Sue embedded herself into the Lewisville community. She spent the second half of her career as a veterinary technician, a job she adored and retired from in her 60's. Sue brought candor, humor and heart to the people around her. She loved animals and children and treated them with generosity and devotion. 
She is survived by her husband, Ron; her daughters, Kristi (Scott) Streetman and Marcy (Bill) Braasch; and grandchildren, Haley Streetman, Ethan Braasch and Myles Braasch, all of whom will miss her sorely.
A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 am on Monday, December 11, 2017 at St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church, 17102 Springmill Road in Westfield, with Father Sean Pogue officiating. Visitation will be from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Sunday, December 10, 2017 at Randall & Roberts Funeral Center, 1685 Westfield Road in Noblesville.
