Susan (Margach) Burdick
Susan(Margach) Burdick – age 53, slipped into the arms of our Savior, Jesus Christ, on July 13, 2024 in the Burdick home she loved with her family.
Suzie was an exceptional woman. Her smile, words of encouragement, Scottish accent and Christian faith were her trade mark.
Susan was born on Easter Sunday, April 11, 1971 to Marion and Peter Margach in Glasgow, Scotland. She married Jim Coyle in 1992, a Scottish-American. They moved to the United States. Jim died in 1998 after a 9 month fight with Cancer in Tucson, AZ. Susan married Stuart Burdick on March 31, 2001. Tuscon was their primary home base, but Stuart’s work took them to different assignments with the Air Force, including Japan and Arkansas. Upon Stuart’s retirement in 2013, they moved back to the Burdick farmstead in Easton, Wisconsin.
Susan worked for the Moundview-Gunderson Hospital in Friendship from 2013 –2023. Her cancer diagnosis/treatments dictated her early departure from a job she enjoyed.
Susan loved her family and friends and felt blessed by them all. She was preceded in death by her mother, Marion Downie; mothers-in-law: Marilyn Burdick and LaVerne Burdick; Step-father, Ian Beattie; and step-brother, Ian Beattie.
She is survived by her loving husband Stuart Burdick; father, Peter Margach; father-in-law, Edwin Burdick; step-siblings: Mhairi Beattie & Fraser Beattie; sisters-in-law: Nancy (David) Seelenbinder & Anita(Donald) Genrich; Children: Melissa Mitchell (AZ) and Jeremy (Amanda) Burdick(TX); 6 granddaughters; 3 great-grandsons; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and aunts/uncles.
A special thank you to all the medical staff who helped Suzie in this past year and the Hospice care workers in the last two months.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Roseberry’s Funeral Home in Friendship on Friday – July 26, 2024. Visitation will start at 11:00am. The service, officiated by Pastor Sam Downey, will start at 2pm. Susan always said, “At my celebration of life I would like the women to dress in red and wear fancy hats!” 💋
A rare, treasured beauty. So many good times to remember. Love and miss you Suey!
Susan, you will always hold a special place in my heart, always be an inspiration, and always be missed in this life. Your sparkly eyes, wonderful smile, bubbly personality, kindness and compassion may be gone from this earth but will live on in the hearts and minds of those who had the absolute pleasure and joy of having you in our lives. Stuart, you and the rest of the family are in my thoughts and prayers. With much love, much sadness, but also much joy that in her time on earth Susan lived a full, happy and very wonderful life, especially the last 24 years with you xx

Fly High Sweet Susan. You will be TRULY missed. Thoughts and Prayers to Stuart & family.
Stuart,
I am so sorry for your loss. I regret there wasn’t time for Susan and I to get to know each other better and investigate our relatives further.
We are sorry for the Burdick family’s loss. Susan was always a happy person and took life in stride. We only knew Susan from Stu/Susan’s time in Arkansas. Stu deployed from Little Rock Air Force Base to Base X and Y in support of the C-130 Hercules Mission. Susan stood strong in support of Stu’s Deployment and stayed with Stu in his many relocations. Susan was a awesome support spouse to Stu’s career and it reflects her selflessness/caring nature. GOD Bless Susan’s climb on the stairway to heaven. Susan will be missed by all that knew her.
My deepest sympathy to the family. I will always remember her fun loving spirit and her lovely Scottish accent. I’m sure her mother was waiting for her with open arms.
Stu and families, Susie was such a blessing and encouragement to all she touched with her words and that infectious smile. Greg and I were so blessed to serve with you both on our Emmaus teams. Sooo much fun!!!! You all are in our prayers and know we will see Susie again .
Ed and family I am so sorry for your loss. I used to talk to Susan when she would come to visit me at the gift shop. She is at peace ow and not suffering.
So sorry for your loss! She was a bright light to everyone she came across ❤️
My condolences to her family and friends! She touched so many lives positively. What a great woman!
The loss of Susie to the Walk to Emmaus and to countless others whose lives her faith and compassion touched will be felt for years to come. I will miss her smile, her grace, and her all-accepting love for all of God’s children. Lon and I will be holding your family in prayer and we will hold the memory of this amazing woman of God.
I’m so sorry on your loss. Susan was a sweet lady
