Susan Marilyn (Wesley) Lesperance

Lansing, Michigan.  Born July 3, 1959, passed away Thursday, December 21, 2023, at age 64.  Susan was an amazing human being. She was a beautiful, highly intelligent, caring, kind and empathetic woman. She was a mom, grandma, daughter, sister, dear friend, kindest person you would ever meet, and the smartest woman we have ever known. She was an advocate and was always fighting for a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.  Born in Toronto, Ontario, she later immigrated to the United States as a little girl with her parents, Dr. John and Mary Wesley, along with her brother, John D. Wesley (deceased). A mom of four daughters, she is survived by Alexis Lesperance (Ella Lesperance-Olsen), Jillian Lesperance (Rooney Kaczmarek), Caitlin Looman (Joshua, Lawson and Lennon Looman), and Meagan Ferman (Bo Ferman). She is also survived by her brother John Wesley’s children (John Ross, Ian, Duncan, Jack and Evie) and their mother Rachel Alteneder (Wesley).

Retired as a surgical technologist, she enjoyed many years in the healthcare field. She spent part of her youth growing up in Brussels, Belgium, and later graduated from the University of Miami. Susan was a natural caretaker, always loving and always there. Her love for healthcare stemmed from shadowing her father at work, an anesthesiologist, and her mother, a registered nurse. She loved to garden and spend her summers outside in the sunshine with her golden retriever.

We will miss her beyond measure, but we know we will meet again. All of our love, until then.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Friends and Family of Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at FFofCF.org

Memorial service will be announced shortly.
