In loving memory of

Susan Ann Clark Houdek
December 19, 1951 - October 12, 2015

Susan Ann Clark Houdek joined the Lord October 12, 2015, due to a heart attack. Susan was a loving caring person.

She is survived by her husband, Cletus Houdek; her mother, Philys Clark; her daughter, Michelle (Kevin) Corrigan and their daughter, MacKenzie; her son, Tom (Mary) McLaughlin and their two sons, Dalton and Wyatt; son, Eric (Heather) McLaughlin, and their two daughters Ganessa and Peyton; and son, Kain McLaughlin; brother, Don Clark; sisters, Karen Leighty and Sharon Motiff; special friends, Connie Balsamo and Robert Krische; and many nieces and nephews. Susan is predeceased by her father, Don Clark and grandparents, Harold and Wilma Clark, Laura Gerling, and Charles Breitzke.

Susan worked at Central Wisconsin Center for 26 years as a loving caregiver for the developmentally disabled. Calvary Gospel Church meant the world to Susan. She has been an active member for many years. Susan was very close to the Lord and undoubtedly sits next to him in heaven today.

Music was a passion for Susan as she played her flute. She also enjoyed using the spinning wheel. Her love of animals, nature and God's creation was evident as she reached out to those in need. She leaves a loving pet dog named Millie who worshiped Susan.

Funeral services will be held at 1:00 P.M. on Monday, October 19, 2015 at Calvary Gospel Church, 5301 Commercial Ave, Madison, WI 53704. A visitation will be held from 11:30 A.M. until the time of service.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to Dane County Humane Society would be appropriate.
