Susan

Seehafer

Susan Seehafer, 80, of Moline, IL, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 13, 2026, at Clarissa C. Cook Hospice House, Bettendorf, IA. Cremation rites will be held under the direction of Wendt Funeral Home in Moline, IL. Per her wishes, no formal services are scheduled at this time.

Susan was born on November 22, 1945, in Joliet, IL, the daughter of Raymond and June (Kwasegroch) Phillips. She built a dedicated career with MidAmerican Energy Company, where she worked for many years before retiring as an IT specialist.

Above all else, Susan was a devoted wife, a wonderful mother, and a cherished grandmother, affectionately known to her family as “Nana.” She shared 59 loving years of marriage with her husband, Nicholas, who survives her. Remembered by all who knew her for her sweet, gentle spirit, Susan had a quiet kindness that made everyone around her feel cared for. Her greatest joy was found in the lives of her grandchildren; she rarely missed an opportunity to cheer them on at their sporting events and school activities. She also held a special place in her heart for her beloved Labrador retrievers.

In addition to her husband, Nicholas, Susan is survived by her children, Dana (Kerri Ruddy) Seehafer and Megan (Ryan) Early; her adored grandchildren, Eli Early, Luke Ruddy Seehafer, and Emersyn Ruddy Seehafer; her sister, Judy (Larry) Kachel; and her nieces, Janiece Bersky and Jillian Wolf. She was preceded in death by her parents.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Susan’s memory to QC Paws, honoring her lifelong love for animals.
