Carolyn A. Suess, 73, of Brussels, Wis., passed away on Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2023, with her family by her side after a short, courageous battle with cancer.

Carolyn was born on April 6, 1949, in Albany, Calif., and was the daughter of Donald and Wilda (Acosta) Koepp.

Carolyn was a graduate of Sevastopol High School.

On Jan. 18, 1969, she married Kenneth Suess Sr. at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Sturgeon Bay, Wis.

Carolyn’s career in advertising and sales provided her opportunities to work at the Door County Chamber of Commerce, the Door County Advocate and Sailing Magazine. More recently she was co-owner of DC Automotive Towing in Sturgeon Bay.

Carolyn loved the water and never missed an opportunity to spend time on a boat.

She had a passion for Corvettes and loved being known as a Corvette family.

Carolyn was a master in the kitchen and fondly known for her skills and her wonderful recipes.

She loved Christmas and had a knack for decorating her home in such a beautiful and festive manner and always believed there was never such a thing as too many Christmas trees.

Carolyn was a loving wife, mother, grandma, great-grandma, daughter, sister and a friend to many and will always be lovingly remembered and sorrowfully missed. She had a heart of gold and enjoyed spending time with her family and never missed an opportunity to make memories with her

grandkids, especially Dylan.

Carolyn is survived by her loving husband Ken; two sons Ken Suess Jr. of Sturgeon Bay and Cregg Suess of Sheboygan; one daughter, Kellie (Larry) Schwab of Port Washington; seven grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; her mother Wilda Koepp; three sisters and two brothers-in-law, Donna Koepp, Ann (Floyd) Hewitt and Jan (Dennis) Mills.

She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her father Donald Koepp.

In accordance with Carolyn’s wishes, a private celebration of life will be held at a later date.

The family would like to offer a warm note of appreciation to the family and friends who have been there loving and supporting Carolyn and the family.
