Susan Wheeler Astrin was born in Milwaukee to Tina (Clementine) and Henry Mielcarek. She grew up with an older sister Genevieve Vuksta in Whitefish Bay, WI and graduated from Whitefish Bay High School. 

Susan married early in life and became mother to six children.  (John William Wheeler passed in infancy.)  Susan was a devout Catholic and was known for her empathy and philanthropy.  She was an active member of Ladies of Charity, Meals On Wheels and St Mary's Hospice Center.   She volunteered at various shelters and churches. 

Susan's hobbies and interests kept her involved in home design, fashion and art.  Susan was known for her love of outdoor sports, especially tennis and softball.  Susan also enjoyed traveling and exploring the world.  Susan visited Paris, Germany, Hawaii and the Netherlands during her most recent travels. 

Susan was a wonderful grandmother and mom.  Her thoughtfulness and kindness let her family know how much she valued them in her life.  We will miss her inspiration and guidance.

Susan's parents along with her sister, John Wheeler (son) and her daughter Margo Jones (Vic Jones) and Marshall Astrin (husband) have preceded Susan in death. 

Susan's surviving family and friends include.  Gerald Wheeler, Otto Salomon, Therese Rudolph (Rick), David Rudolph (Kaity and Daniel), Colin Rudolph, Sara Rudolph, Mariane Wheeler, Tanina Andres, Sonja Andres, Ava Genevieve and Una Meyer.  Jim Wheeler (Gina), Nance Wheeler (Julie Henderson), Monica Wheeler (David Dineen), Natalie Jones, Connor Jones and Mia Jones. 

Most recently Sue has been cared for at St Anne's Salvatorian Campus.  A public celebration of Sue's life will be announced at a later date.  Donations in memoriam are welcome to St Anne's Salvatorian Campus, 3800 N 92nd St, Milwaukee, WI. 53222.
