Susan E. Morehouse

SARATOGA SPRINGS/MILTON — Susan E. Morehouse passed away peacefully Friday, November 25, 2016 at her granddaughter’s home with her family by her side. Born on October 28, 1922 in Saratoga Springs, she was the daughter of the late John and Elizabeth Fecenko Hlavaty. Susan was lifelong resident of Saratoga Springs, a graduate of Saratoga Springs High School in 1941, and the loving wife for 67 years to the late Kenneth Morehouse. She loved her job of seventeen years as a crossing guard at Spa Catholic because she said the kids kept her going. Susie also worked as a crossing guard at the Saratoga Race Course during the racing season (thank you, Andy). She enjoyed bowling, a good Polka, and western music, especially when she would go see Jimmy Sturr. Susie was a parishioner of the Church of St. Peter and a member of The Catholic Daughters of America, which she enjoyed attending and socializing very much with her sister Katie. In addition to her husband and parents, she was predeceased by two sons, Kenneth G. Jr. and Arthur Morehouse; four sisters, Anna Wells, Mary Convery, Helen Hlevaty, Katherine Welch and one brother, William Watulak. Survivors include her sister Veronica “Ronnie” Flewelling of Corinth; one granddaughter, Dana Cassell of Milton; her sisters-in-law, Beverly Watulak, Pamela Bender, Deborah Bender, Laura March, Candace Fitzgerald; very dear friends, Troy and Kim Cassell; a special friend Erik Teresko and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Susie’s family would like to give a special thanks to Dr. Kuffs and his nurse Cristine for all of the special care that they gave to her. Relatives and friends gathered in her name on Monday November 28, 2016at the William J. Burke and & Sons/Bussing and Cunniff Funeral Homes of Saratoga Springs. A funeral service followed conducted by the Rev. Thomas H. Chevalier, pastor.  Committal services were held on Tuesday, November 29, 2016 at the family plot in St. Peter’s Cemetery, also in Saratoga Springs.
