MADISON -Suzanne Marie Wicker Blotz of Madison died Tuesday, December 24, 2024.

Sue was born December 15, 1944, in Watertown, Wis., the daughter of Robert and Eva (Heiling) Wicker. She married her husband of almost 50 years, Richard Blotz, on September 26, 1975, at St. Henry’s Church in Watertown, Wis.

After graduating from Sacred Heart School of Nursing in Milwaukee, Sue worked as an Intensive Care nurse at Methodist Hospital in Madison and as a visiting nurse for Dane County before her 30 years at Group Health Cooperative. Her attentiveness, care, and skill were appreciated by patients and colleagues alike.

An accomplished painter and quilter, Sue had an artist’s soul; her creativity and talent were evident in both the making process and in the work she produced. In addition to the quilts made for loved ones (and those connected to her loved ones), the warmth and comfort her quilts offer were also shared with Quilts of Valor and Project Linus.

Sue is survived by her husband, Richard; her children, Joseph (James Buccini) and Molly (Andrew Tuchowski); grandchildren, Devin, Dontay, Davyn and Llancel; her brother, Richard Wicker (partner, Judy Draeger); her sister, Bonnie (Richard) Gallup; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Thomas Wicker.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at ST. DENNIS CATHOLIC CHURCH, 505 Dempsey Road, Madison, at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 29, 2025.

Memorials may be made to Agrace HospiceCare. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.
