Susan (Sue) Tripp, 67, from Warrenville IL, passed away peacefully at home with her husband and family by her side on March 25, 2024 after a short bout with an aggressive cancer.

Sue received her mechanical engineering degree from University of Illinois and later earned a master’s degree in computer science from Northwestern University. She worked for many years as a computer software engineer at Lucent Technologies (formally Bell Labs).

Sue loved creating artwork, particularly fused glass, and collaborating with other artists at Gallery 200. She was active and loved walking, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Sue’s honor can be made to Gallery 200 in West Chicago, the non-profit artist Co-op that Sue was passionately involved with.
