Susan Marie Britten

Susan Marie Britten, age 85, a longtime resident of Pierson, Michigan, passed away early Saturday, April 25, 2026 at MediLodge of Grand Rapids. The daughter of Ed & Mary (Holcomb) Stuart, she was born on March 19, 1941 in Grand Rapids. After graduating from Marywood Academy in Grand Rapids, she attended Western Michigan University. On September 22, 1962 in Denver, Colorado, she married Jack Elliott Britten, and together they enjoyed over sixty-three years of marriage and raised three sons.

Susan worked outside the home at Christ the King Catholic Church in Howard City, and her greatest joy was always her family.

Susan was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Jack Britten (less than a month ago); her brother-in-law, Jerry Britten; her sister-in-law, Nancy Britten; and a nephew Mike Britten. She is survived by her three sons, Dennis & Jennifer Britten, Kevin Britten, and David Britten; her grandchildren, Joshua and Jennifer Britten, Dylan and Elo Britten, Kate and Patrick Carleton, Emily Laramy, Betsy and Joe Voorhorst, Alex and Maddie Britten, Kaitlin Britten and Jonathon Britten; her great-grandchildren, Liam, Tucker, Riley, Maggie Kate, Logan and Maxwell; and many nieces and nephews. 

A celebration of life will be held at a later date, and burial will take place at Pierson Cemetery.
