Louise Ann Suchecki's Obituary
Mrs. Louise Ann Suchecki, age 85, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 7, 2019. She was born on May 16, 1934 to Edward and Catherine (Niemiec) Dault in Grand Haven. A lifelong resident of the area, Louise started working at Keller Tool as a mail sorter after high school where she was introduced to the love her life, Ray, by his sister, Mary Ann. They were married on February 6, 1954 and moved to Nunica where they raised their 9 children. Ray and Louise ran Ray’s Quality Welding in Grand Haven where Louise did secretarial work for 49 years. They were members of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Spring Lake. Ray and Louise enjoyed traveling and spent most holidays at Round Lake, camping and fishing with their children, and eventually, their children’s families. They were Gold Members of The Polka Melodies for years. Louise always enjoyed eating a Pronto Pup and Fricano’s pizza with friends and family. There were many nights spent with the family playing euchre and hearing Louise’s famous line, “what’s trump again?” when she had a good hand. Ray and Louise were always looking stylish in their matching red, white and blue attire. Louise’s love for Ray was obvious as she was always chasing after him and giving him affectionate touches. Louise will be remember by her husband of 65 years, Ray; children, Chuck (Geralynn) Suchecki, Dan (Sue) Suchecki, David (Audrey) Suchecki, Richard (Pam) Suchecki, Matt Suchecki, Mary (Randy) Cole, Tony (Cherise) Suchecki, Beth (Jim) Duddles, Christopher Suchecki; 23 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren; 2 great-great-grandchildren; siblings, Ed (Phyllis) Dault, Norm (Pat) Dault, Cathy Bogdan, Jane Simonte and Joe (Teresa) Dault; sisters and brothers-in-law, Ruth Suchecki, Helen Laufersky, Dave (Gloria) Suchecki, Carol (Jerry) Klotz and Phil (Marilyn) Suchecki; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by her grandson, Erick Thomas Suchecki; sister-in-law, Barb Dault; and sisters and brothers-in-law, Mary Ann (Duane) Reames, Ed Suchecki, Bob Laufersky and Pat (Ed) Koeller.
