Obituary
SUSAN HAAS
Susan Michelle Haas January 4, 1966 to March 29, 2013 Our Sue, the family comedian, found the strength to crack jokes even while being very ill in the hospital. From an early age, this comedian, actor, and artist strove to build a career in those fields, attending the Cornish College for the Arts in the professional actors program for two years. She performed on stage in many college productions, usually in a comedy or character role.
A child of the 1960's and 1970's, she grew up during a time when women and people of color were fighting for various rights and social justice. The result of her exposure and discussion at the family dinner table to these issues and concerns was her profound consciousness of wanting justice for all, and her commitment to helping others less fortunate, sometimes even to her detriment. With her heart of gold and fierce independence, she led an interesting and varied life, making friends wherever she went.
She persevered with her education and obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree from Evergreen State College, and her Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University in Seattle. Using her life experience and her insight, she thoroughly relished her role as a counselor, feeling a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. However, her greatest accomplishment and pride was becoming a mother to the love of her life, her daughter Sarah, who is her wonderful legacy to us, her family.
Sue's beloved daughter Sarah Evelyn; her parents Henry and Kate Haas; her brother David Haas and his wife Sharon; her sister Kimberly Haas Isaac; her nephews Sam and Jacob Isaac; her niece Sophie Isaac; and many wonderful and helpful friends survive her and mourn her loss to this world.
Sue was pre-deceased by her grandpa Foo (Hugh) Fraser and nannie Evie Faser, opa John Haas and nannie Schatzie (Gerda) Haas, and her young brother-in-law Joshua B. Isaac.
The family extends sincere thanks to Drs. James Kirsch, Yoshio Inoue, Suraj Singh, Polly Haberlin, Jess Bouma, Yasuko Steffensen RN, Mary Milton MSW and all their professional, kindhearted, and competent staff. Tacoma is extremely fortunate to have such talented and compassionate people in its midst.
A graveside service will be held at 11:00 am Sunday, March 31, 2013, at the Home of Peace Cemetery located on the corner of Lakewood Drive and Steilacoom Boulevard. Charitable contributions in Sue's memory may be made to Temple Beth El Special Programs Fund, the Multicare Regional Cancer Care Center.
