February 9, 1956 – November 7, 2025

It is with great love and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Susan Marie Truesdell, who left this world peacefully on November 7, 2025, surrounded by her family and the music of her favorite band, The Eagles.

Born on February 9, 1956, Susan lived a life filled with devotion, humor, and unwavering care for the people she loved. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Richard Deldon Truesdell, who passed away in August 2008. Though their time together ended too soon, Susan carried his memory with her every day.

Susan is survived by her children: her eldest son, Greg Truesdell, and her daughter, Michelle Wear (Truesdell), and Michelle’s husband, Jeff Wear. She was a proud and adoring grandmother to Giana and Gino, who brought immeasurable joy and purpose to her life.

A retired administrative assistant at AT&T, Susan approached her work with dedication and warmth. Outside of her career, she found happiness in the simple but meaningful things—spending time with her grandchildren and family, crocheting intricate pieces with love, and cooking and baking meals that brought everyone together.

Susan’s kindness, creativity, and gentle spirit left a lasting impact on all who knew her. Her legacy lives on in the memories she created and the love she shared so freely.

A Celebration of Life will be held in her honor on Sunday, December 7, 2025 from 1pm-5pm, at the home where she lived with her daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren:

26 Hawthorne Ct., O’Fallon, MO 63366

Family and friends are invited to join us as we remember and celebrate Susan’s beautiful life.

In lieu of flowers we are asking for unwrapped toys to donate Toys for Tots in her honor.
