Susan L. Smith, age 72, a Manitowoc resident, passed away on Wednesday morning, January 22, 2020 at Holy Family Memorial Medical Center, Manitowoc.

Susan was born in Manitowoc, on April 12, 1947, to the late Louis and Mary (Reed) Smith, Sr. For most of Susan's childhood, she lived in Chippewa Falls. In 1983 she moved back to Manitowoc, living at Rainbow House. Susan worked in Production at Ascend Services Inc. (formerly Holiday House), Manitowoc, until 2015. Afterwards, she joined Ascend Day Services, enjoying many community outings, craft activities, artwork, and visiting with friends. She loved listening to music and especially her weekly music therapy classes at Rainbow House. Susan also enjoyed visiting friends and family, playing cards, and helping staff with meal planning. In her younger years, Susan loved walks around the block, and also competed in Manitowoc's Special Olympics.
