OBITUARIES
OF BLESSED MEMORY

S

usan Olesha 
Levytsky Shwayder, 
69, of Franklin, died 
in her home in New York 
City on Oct. 10, 2023, after a 
three-year battle with cancer. 
Susan was born in 
Perth Amboy, N.J., 
on Jan 23, 1954. She 
grew up in Perth 
Amboy, where she 
attended the Lady 
of Hungary School 
and graduated from 
Perth Amboy High 
School in 1972. 
She went on to Rutgers 
University in the first class 
of admitted women, where 
she was a Russian language 
studies major and graduated 
cum laude in 1976.
After college, Susan 
moved to New York City 
where she pursued a suc-
cessful career as chief copy-
writer for various fashion 
departments at Macy’s and 
Saks Fifth Avenue. She then 
conquered Madison Avenue 
at Wunderman Ricotta 
& Klein, now known as 
Wunderman/Y&R as a vice 
president/creative super-
visor. Just a few of Sue’s 
notable clients included 
American Express, Disney, 
Johnson & Johnson and 
Pantene. She also wrote two 
children’s books with her 
colleague Don Ross: Where 
in the World is Walter? and 
Happy Birthday, Walter!
She remained in New 
York City until 1988, when 
she married Mark Shwayder 
and moved with him to 
Franklin, Michigan, where 
they lived for 35 years. Upon 
moving, Susan worked with 
Donor Advertising. She 
successfully freelanced for 

nonprofit foundations, most 
prominently the Kresge 
Foundation, where she cre-
ated, wrote and co-produced 
the Kresge Eminent Artist 
Award books, detailing the 
lives and accomplish-
ments of some of 
Detroit’s renowned 
creative artists. She 
contributed her tal-
ents to numerous 
other organizations, 
including the Detroit 
Symphony Orchestra. 
Sue also served at the 
pleasure of several boards 
in Michigan, including the 
Friends of Franklin Public 
Library, where she was a 
member and president until 
stepping down from her 
position in 2023.
Her proudest accom-
plishment of the decades 
she spent in Michigan was 
giving birth to her daugh-
ter, Arden Evan Shwayder, 
in 1994. Sue was a fiercely 
devoted and loving mother 
and was heavily involved in 
all aspects of Arden’s life, 
especially during her tenure 
at Cranbrook Kingswood. 
In her role as a Cranbrook 
mother, Sue worked hard to 
grow support for the school’s 
artistic community. She 
served as board president of 
BRAVO, Cranbrook’s sup-
porting arts group tasked 
with raising awareness and 
funds to improve the per-
forming arts facilities, offer-
ings and programming for 
several years.
Sue had a gift for friend-
ship. Loyal, caring and 
supportive, Sue was proud 
of the many long-term rela-
tionships she nurtured and 
treasured her many lifelong
