Susann (Susie) Rohrer, age 69, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, was called to Heaven on Monday, September 7, 2015, while a patient at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire. Her family was at her side when God took her into His arms.
 She was born June 3, 1946, at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Wabasha, Minnesota, to Adolph Lerum and Leona (“Pat”) (Markey) Lerum. She married Thomas H. Rohrer on June 28, 1969 at St. Lawrence Catholic Church, Alma, Wisconsin.

It was now time for Susie and Tom to start a family and she would turn their house into a home, and that she did with many beautiful flowers everywhere and lots of pretty vases and pots, all filled with flowers. She also had their yard filled with beautiful shrubs, trees and flowers. She was an avid reader and when she was not tending to her family or making their home beautiful, you could find her reading. She also taught 4th grade at St. James for 12 years and substituted in the Eau Claire, Fall Creek, Augusta and Elk Mound School Systems. She went with Tom to many corvette and classic car shows throughout the country.  For her 60th birthday, she took a museum delivery of a new Monterey red corvette convertible in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
