Susan Lynn Althof

Susan “Susie” Lynn Althof, of Foxfire Village, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on November 9, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. She was 69 years old. 

Born on December 17, 1955, in Peoria, Illinois, to the late Donald and Carol Joan Johnston. Susie lived a life filled with warmth, kindness, and a deep love for her family and friends. She is survived by her devoted husband, Roger Althof, her beloved children Eric (Ashley) Althof and Sara (Steve) Mondziel, and her cherished grandchildren Silas and Avery Mondziel and Zachary Althof, who were the light of her life. She is also survived by her loving siblings Greg (Patty) Johnston and Carol (Matt) Greek, as well as many treasured nieces and nephews. 

Susie was an extraordinary wife, mother, Grammy, and friend. She had a rare gift for making everyone around her feel special, loved, and seen. Her warm smile and caring spirit touched countless lives. She had a passion for country décor and a talent for turning her home into a cozy, welcoming haven, especially during the holidays, which she made magical for everyone who gathered around her table. 

More than anything, Susie loved spending time with her grandchildren. Whether she was baking cookies, decorating for the seasons, or simply sharing stories and laughter, she created lasting memories that will be cherished forever. 

Susie’s legacy is one of love, family, and kindness. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. 

A celebration of Susie’s life will take place on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at Rubicon Farms, 570 Rubicon Road, West End, NC 27376.  Lunch will be provided. Pastor Andy Robertson will be officiating. 

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor her memory by spending time with loved ones and making someone feel special just as Susie always did.
