Susan Diane Trimmer (Fisher) class of 1977, 53, passed away peacefully on October 28, 2012. The daughter of Albert and the late Renate Hermsen, Susie was born on May 25, 1959.

She grew up in Okemos, MI, and then lived in Williamston, MI for twenty years. She recently settled in Haslett, MI with her husband Tim, whom she married in 2010.

A graduate of MSU, she was a lifelong Spartan fan. She went on to earn her MBA from Spring Arbor University in 2010. Sue was an outstanding professional woman, raising money for student scholarships and college improvements as Foundation Director at Lansing Community College and Director of Development at Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania.
