Susanne, 68, of Oronoco, MN, passed away suddenly after a brief illness at Mayo Clinic Hospital, St. Mary's campus. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, also known as Lake City, MN, Susanne Marie Roland was born on July 20, 1946 to James and Ruth Roland. She grew up on the family farm in the Mazeppa area and moved to Pine Island when she was in 6th grade. She graduated from Pine Island High School in 1964. On October 26, 1979, she married Gary M. Sheehan in Rochester, MN. The couple started their life together in Rochester and moved to Stewartville, MN to raise their children. In April 2008, Susanne and Gary moved to their beloved lake house on Lake Zumbro, near Fisherman's Inn. Susanne retired from Rochester Community and Technical College as Director of Human Resources in May 2003, after more than 25 years, beginning her career as secretary to President Charles E.Hill. She spent her retirement doting on her cherished grandchildren, James, Juliet, Vienna, Caden and Carsen. Her hobbies included collecting Star Wars, Star Trek and Beatles memorabilia. Susanne was an avid John Lennon fan and was passionate about the feminist movement. She enjoyed crocheting, doing crossword puzzles, crypto quotes and Sudoku, watching Days of Our Lives and keeping up on current events while enjoying the view from her lake home. Survivors include her two daughters, Danielle Renee of St. Paul, MN, and Katie (Craig) Nagel of Stewartville, MN, a son, Chris Sheehan of Stewartville, MN; five grandchildren; and her sister Rosalie Roland of Rochester, MN. She was preceded in death by her husband and parents. As Susanne would say, "Live long and prosper." ~ Mr. Spock
