On August 25th, 2021, Susan (Sue) Copenhagen died at Highland Hospital at the age of 65. Sue was born and raised in Rochester, NY. Sue is survived by her husband Roy Wildermuth, sister Margaret Bertella, and children Phillip (Melissa) Ruffo, Amy (Alan) Niespodzinski & Paul (Lindsay) Ruffo, and their Father Daniel Ruffo. She was a proud and loving “Gwamma” to six grandchildren.
Sue spent much her life as a nurse administrator and educator. Despite her own health struggles, Sue gave and cared for those around her. Sue held an MS in Nursing Administration from the University of Rochester, EMT-Paramedic, and was a licensed Ham Radio Operator. She also found great joy driving her Jeep and caring for her cats Merlin & Gizmo.
Mom, your smile, radiance and energy will be greatly missed.
