Susanne Jeannette Ketting of Saint Cloud, Florida, passed away peacefully on July 4, 2026, at the age of 59.
Born on December 1, 1966, in Haarlem, The Netherlands, Susanne was the beloved daughter of Mees Ketting and Rita Vink Ketting. She graduated from Oral Roberts University and dedicated her professional life to caring for children as a pediatric nurse, serving with compassion, skill, and unwavering kindness.
Susanne's heart for others extended far beyond her profession. She was a devoted volunteer with Special Olympics and opened her home and heart as a foster mother for decades, welcoming and nurturing children across state lines. She devoted her life to her family and to her faith, always placing the needs of others before her own. Her warmth, generosity, and gentle spirit touched countless lives and will be remembered by all who knew her.
She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Desiree, Jeremiah, Christina, Saskia, Sefanja, Sanika, Meekah, and Mathew; her brother, Ray; his family, Bianca, Caressa, Chelston, Bella, and Chloe; along with many cherished friends whose lives were blessed by her love and kindness.
A celebration of Susanne's life will be held at a later date.

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue." — Proverbs 31:25–26

Though she will be deeply missed, Susanne's legacy of faith, compassion, and unconditional love will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
