Susan C. (McGookey) Klohn, 68, of Sandusky passed away peacefully late Tuesday evening, April 7, 2020, in the Firelands Regional Medical Center, Sandusky following a brief illness.
She was born February 28, 1952 and was a 1970 graduate of Sandusky High School, where she was a proud member of the SHS A Cappella Choir.
Susan attended BGSU Firelands for her first two years of college, then transferred to BGSU Main Campus.

While at BGSU, Susan was inducted into the Phi Kappa Delta fraternity for education professionals.
Following graduation, she taught second grade in the Sandusky City Schools for thirty-two years, retiring in 2005. Susan was a member of the Sandusky Education Association throughout her teaching career.
Susan was a lifelong member of Zion Lutheran Church, Sandusky. She was active in various church functions including teaching Sunday School, Catechism Classes, Vacation Bible School, playing piano, and spent many years in the Zion Lutheran Senior Choir.

Her hobbies included singing, playing piano, music and concert-going, word searches, reading, traveling, shopping, visiting museums and art galleries, delivering "Grandma's famous" cut-out Christmas cookies to family and friends, and trips to Cedar Point and Sea World.
