SUZANNE SUGAR, 80, of 
West Bloomfield, died March 
26, 2023. 
She was born in Portland, 
Ore., and grew up in Detroit. 
Sue graduated from Mumford 
High School (1960) and the 
University of Michigan (1964), 
where she majored in Far 
Eastern Studies. 
In her youth and adoles-
cence, Sue was a lively and 
loving person who enjoyed 
musicals and played the piano. 

She studied Spanish in Saltillo, 
Mexico, and cherished family 
vacations at Windcliff House 
in South Haven. From her 
early 20s on, Sue was afflict-
ed by mental illness, which 
defined the course of her life; 
yet, she remained a caring 
daughter, sister, aunt and 
cousin. 
She took pleasure in small 
things like going to rummage 
sales and finding treasures and 
knickknacks to send to her 
family. She enjoyed sharing her 
vivid memories of childhood 
in Detroit. She always took an 
avid interest in family history 
and in the lives of her beloved 
nieces, nephews and cousins. 
The family is grateful to 
her parents, Saul and Wilma 
Sugar, for providing means to 

sustain Sue during her life and 
especially to Gail and Alan 
Sugar for attentively managing 
her care, maintaining regular 
contact and including her in 
family events.
Sue Sugar was the daughter 
of H. Saul and Wilma S. Sugar. 
She is survived by her broth-
ers, Alan (Gail), Joel (Anita), 
and David (Skye); nieces and 
nephews, Lauree, Ami, Nicole, 
Danny, Alec and Breanna; and 
many cousins.
Interment was at Clover Hill 
Park Cemetery. Contributions
