Susan Lea Wiegand

Susan Lea Wiegand passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by family on November 28, 2024, after a hard-fought two-year battle with cancer.

Susan was born on April 8, 1951, to Clifford and Beatrice Schmitt in Buffalo, New York.

In 1974, Susan moved to Colorado which she continued to call home for the next 50 years. As a well-respected real estate broker at Metro Brokers and later Brokers Guild, she came to know Denver like the back of her hand and formed close relationships in the community.

Susan was an avid reader, gardener, skier, and card player. Perhaps most of all, she loved to play golf. She was also resourceful, creative, and capable of learning anything – from Latin tutor, to amateur seamstress, nurse, to DIY home improvement and interior decorator. With unwavering resolve and determination, she was a force to be reckoned with and an anchor for her family. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and devoted wife. She will be very dearly missed.

Susan is survived by her husband of 29 years, John Wiegand; her children, Colin O’Connor and wife Becca Berline, Kelsey O’Connor, Kirsten Wiegand and husband Alex Walker; her grandchildren, Brighton O’Connor, Coralie O’Connor, Ginger O’Connor, and Elke O’Connor; her brothers, Peter and Paul Schmitt; and her sister, Jeanne Peterson.

Her final resting place will be Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver, CO.
