Obituary
MIDDLETON / MADISON - Suzanne “Sue” Elizabeth Rogan passed away suddenly on July 6, 2026, at Brookdale Senior Living in Madison, Wis. Sue was born in Fukuoka, Japan on May 7, 1951, where her parents, Colonel John and Ann Rogan, were stationed during the Korean War. She was the oldest of nine children and, as an “Army brat,” lived in multiple states and on Okinawa.
Sue graduated with a degree in Radio and TV from Indiana University and worked for several newspapers and a radio station before pursuing other career interests. These included Emergency Medical Services and State Trooper certifications, as well as a master’s degree in nursing from the University of Wisconsin. Sue worked at several Madison hospitals for most of her career before retiring in 2015. She was a staunch advocate for social justice and human rights for all people.
Sue is survived by her siblings, Jack (Judy), Kathy, Patty, Colleen (Antonio), Michael (Sue), Kevin and David; and brother-in-law, Vincent. Sue's parents and sister, Maureen, preceded her in death.
In keeping with Sue’s wishes, no services will be held. The family respectfully requests no flowers or gifts. Please direct any memorial contributions to the American Heart Association (www.heart.org).
