Feb. 8, 1944 – March 14, 2010


Suzanne Elaine DeMond (nee Poole), 66, formerly of Beloit and Waukesha, passed away at her Green Bay home under hospice and family care Sunday, March 14, 2010, after a long, courageous battle with cancer.

Sue was born Feb. 8, 1944, in Beloit, the daughter of Bernard and Audrey Reuteler Poole. She was a 1962 graduate of Beloit Memorial High School and worked in Beloit for many years as a hairdresser at Hazel’s Hairstyling and The Mane Stop. After moving to Waukesha in 1982, Sue worked at Cameo Hair Care Center, and then owned and operated salons at San Camillo Retirement Community and Linden Heights Assisted Living. Upon retiring in 2003, Sue and her husband moved to Green Bay to be with their family.

Sue was an active member in The Peoples Church in Beloit, St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Waukesha and Union Congregational Church in Green Bay. She served her communities as a hospice volunteer and Sunday school teacher, and Sue enjoyed oil painting, horseback riding and spending time with her family. Sue enriched the lives of so many people with her compassion, strength, generosity and wonderful sense of humor. She is gratefully at peace in God’s loving arms, but she will be deeply missed.

Survivors include her mother, Audrey (Poole) Stanton; husband, Roland DeMond; son, Daniel Scott DeMond (Tamara Koponen); daughter, Dianna DeMond; four grandchildren, Brian, Brendan, Dylan and Joslyn; and stepsiblings, John D. Stanton (Marianne), Pat Ruppert (Kevin) and children, Roderick Stanton (Melody) and son, and Chad Stanton (Ellen) and children.

She was predeceased by her father, Bernard Poole; and grandparents, Theron and Julia Poole, and Max and Lenora Reuteler.
