Susan Musante Rogge
November 10, 1946 - October 30, 2011
Sue passed away surrounded by her family. For anyone who had the privilege of being her friend they know she never had an unkind word to say about anyone. If she were your friend, she was your friend for life. She always "had your back", was kind, loyal and loving. It was my honor to consider her my closest friend for 50 years. Sue decided to go back to school in the ‘80s. With two kids in school, she drove three hours a day to attend CSU Chico. She graduated in 1987 with a Bachelors Degree in social work, went to work in Redding, near her home, and retired in 2006. I can't even imagine the number of people she helped, and she loved her work. Sue is survived by her husband and best friend of over 40 years, Karl “Terry” Rogge, children Scott and Kara, and the lights in her eyes, granddaughters Alexah and Jolea. She was preceded in death by her mom and dad, stepparents, and sister Carol. After she died, Terry found this quote she had written in her journal shortly before passing: "My spirit grows stronger as my body grows weaker." If anyone has any stories they would like to share about Sue, please send them to me, and I will pass them on to her family -- Judy Bale Pitts ’64

She belonged to the social girls club at the time and was fairly popular. She worked as a secretary for many years and was the co-owner of Richardson Steel until her divorce from John. She always seemed to want to make someone laugh -- or correct someone about what they were doing wrong, especially me.

He is survived by his wife Holly Wittenberg and his two daughters Desiree and Theresa, who were 7 and 5, respectively, at the time of his death.
