Susan L. Huch's Obituary
Susan L. Huch, nee Eaves, 70 years of age, of Waterloo, IL, passed away on November 28, 2021 at Evelyn's House, Creve Coeur, MO. She was born November 11, 1951, in St. Louis, MO, to mother, Helen, L. Eaves, nee MacIntosh, whom survives her, and father, the late Russell H. Eaves III. She married Patrick W. Huch, on September 19, 1987, a marriage that lasted for over 34 years.
Susan was a loving and well-loved person. Her passion for helping others often took precedence over her own struggles with health. Though she had many complications to overcome, they never stopped her from achieving her goals and living life to the fullest. After graduating from Webster Groves High School, she completed training as a dental hygienist at St. Louis community College. Susan worked as a hygienist for five years then transitioned to General Manager at Answer Missouri. She excelled in the new position, working her way up to Vice-President, until her retirement in 2012.
She was an open, kind, and inquisitive person. She took an interest in everyone she met, and cherished time with her family. Sue and Pat shared a love of all living things. Especially dear to her were her boxers (but she really loved all dogs, animals, and plants). They also shared a loved of traveling, and spending time together working on their home.
Survived by her mother, Helen Eaves of Ballwin, MO; husband, Patrick Huch of Waterloo, IL; and siblings, Judith (Michael) Samsel of Land O' Lakes, FL, Russell (Joyce) Eaves of Lonedell, MO, and Laura (Raymond, deceased 2019) Powers of St. Peters, MO; along with 9 nephews, 7 nieces, and many great-nieces and great-nephews.
Susan was cremated according to her wishes. Visitation will be on Saturday, December 11, 2021, from 10:00 am - 11:45 am, at the Hope Christian Church, Columbia, IL, with Memorial Services to follow at 12 noon, Pastor Darrell Jones, officiating.
