Susan H. Kaiser, of Vero Beach, passed away on March 20, at Indian River Medical Center.
She is survived by her husband Rick Kaiser; daughter Emily Kaiser; son Eric Kaiser; mother Sally Henderson (Mema) all of Vero Beach and a brother Trey Howse of Dallas, Texas.
The entire family was able to say goodbye before her passing. She was a great mother, wife, daughter and friend. Our hearts are broken. She was the wife of a Navy SEAL for more than 27 years. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Kaiser was strong, independent, dependable and a fierce advocate for her family, her friends, her country and me. She was in the Navy even though she never enlisted. She endured many long hard deployments not knowing if I would return. She took care of the kids and the home without question. She could party with the hardest SEAL and come out on top every time. She always gave more than what she got in return.
Kaiser was the driving force behind many initiatives at the National Navy SEAL Museum located in Fort Pierce. She single handedly took the Trident House (respite home for special forces families) from an idea to reality. Since her greatest love was children, she constantly pushed for things such as the Obstacle Course and Dress Up area which are now also reality thanks to her. She will be missed.
There will be a celebration of life sometime in the future with plenty of advanced notice. Please donate to the Trident House (her pride and joy) in place of flowers: Trident House 3300 N. HWY A1A Ft. Pierce, FL 34949.
Arrangements are under the direction of Strunk Funeral Home and Crematory, Vero Beach.
