Leavenworth, KS - Susan Kay Loftus lovingly known as "Susie" or "Suze" to &nbsp;those close to her, passed away on July 27, 2023, at the age of 68 after bravely &nbsp;fighting a two-year battle with squamous cell carcinoma. Born on May 23, 1955, &nbsp;in Maquoketa, IA, Susan was the daughter of Duane and Nancy (Hebbeln) Becker, and grew up with her brother, Ed Becker, as the eldest, and her twin &nbsp;sister, Sandra "Sandy" Becker, by her side.&nbsp;

Susan's journey in life led her to the Kansas City metro area, where she &nbsp;graduated from DeSoto High in 1973. While she initially enrolled at Avila &nbsp;University, she soon found her true calling when she was hired by Hallmark &nbsp;Cards, where she would dedicate an impressive 45 years of her life. Starting as &nbsp;a Gravure Printing Operator, Susan's dedication and hard work led her to become one of the first females to hold the esteemed position of Lead Press &nbsp;Operator at the Hallmark - Leavenworth, KS manufacturing facility. In her personal life, Susan went on to marry John Loftus and together they welcomed three wonderful boys, Mitchell, Jordan, and Nolan.&nbsp;

Susan had a reputation for her tough exterior and no-nonsense attitude, always &nbsp;unafraid to speak her mind. While some may have found her blunt honesty &nbsp;intimidating, those who truly knew her understood that beneath that tough exterior was one of the most harmless and selfless souls, who took joy in the &nbsp;simplest of pleasures like the hot summer weather, working out, or going to the movies.&nbsp;

After a fulfilling life, Susan is survived by her father, Duane Becker, her brother, &nbsp;Ed (Cyndy) Becker, her sister, Sandy Becker, and her three loving sons, Mitchell &nbsp;Loftus, Jordan (Jayme) Loftus, and Nolan Loftus. As well as her grandson, &nbsp;Christopher Loftus. Additionally, she leaves behind her nieces, Hollie Becker, &nbsp;Hillary (Josh) Hance, and her nephew, Leo (Brianna) Becker.&nbsp;

Leavenworth, KS - Susan Kay Loftus lovingly known as "Susie" or "Suze" to &nbsp;those close to her, passed away on July 27, 2023, at the age of 68 after bravely &nbsp;fighting a two-year battle with squamous cell carcinoma. Born on May 23, 1955, &nbsp;in Maquoketa, IA, Susan was the daughter of Duane and Nancy (Hebbeln) Becker, and grew up with her brother, Ed Becker, as the eldest, and her twin &nbsp;sister, Sandra "Sandy" Becker, by her side.&nbsp;Susan's journey in life led her to the Kansas City metro area, where she &nbsp;graduated from DeSoto High in 1973. While she initially enrolled at Avila &nbsp;University, she soon found her true calling when she was hired by Hallmark &nbsp;Cards, where she would dedicate an impressive 45 years of her life. Starting as &nbsp;a Gravure Printing Operator, Susan's dedication and hard work led her to become one of the first females to hold the esteemed position of Lead Press &nbsp;Operator at the Hallmark - Leavenworth, KS manufacturing facility. In her personal life, Susan went on to marry John Loftus and together they welcomed three wonderful boys, Mitchell, Jordan, and Nolan.&nbsp;Susan had a reputation for her tough exterior and no-nonsense attitude, always &nbsp;unafraid to speak her mind. While some may have found her blunt honesty &nbsp;intimidating, those who truly knew her understood that beneath that tough exterior was one of the most harmless and selfless souls, who took joy in the &nbsp;simplest of pleasures like the hot summer weather, working out, or going to the movies.&nbsp;After a fulfilling life, Susan is survived by her father, Duane Becker, her brother, &nbsp;Ed (Cyndy) Becker, her sister, Sandy Becker, and her three loving sons, Mitchell &nbsp;Loftus, Jordan (Jayme) Loftus, and Nolan Loftus.
