Today marks a sad day for us as it is our mother’s birthday, she would have turned 63. For those of you who are not already aware, Sue Pauly, originally from Hillside, Illinois, died after a 3-year courageous battle with ovarian cancer on July 8, 2021.
Sue was the beloved mother of John and Jim Pauly; the beloved daughter of the deceased Matt and Helen Dergance; the beloved sister of Jim Dergance (Laura) and aunt, relative, friend, co-worker, etc. She was a registered nurse since 1978 and received many accolades from hospital administration, her co-workers, and, most importantly, her patients.
Both Jim and I sincerely apologize for not providing people with timely memorial service information as this pandemic has been quite a “moving target.” That being said, regretfully, we have opted to not have a public service for our dear mother. With the recent surge in new COVID cases, new break-through cases, and the number of people still unvaccinated, we believe our decision is prudent considering everyone’s personal physical safety should be our top priority. (Honestly, we also had to give consideration as to how large the “turn-out” would be for her.)
There will be a private memorial service in and around Rock Dam, Wisconsin sometime in 2022. On behalf of Jim and I, we’d like to sincerely thank each and every one of you for your thoughtful consideration and acts of kindness demonstrated in so many different ways. Arrangements were made by Bucaro Funeral Home & Cremation Center. For more information please visit our website at www.BucaroFuneralHome.com or call 630-242-4700.
