Susan Jane Hetrick, 80, a lifelong resident of DuBois, Pennsylvania, passed away on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 at Penn Highlands Healthcare in DuBois. She was born on June 16, 1945 in DuBois, the daughter of the late John Everett and Margaret (Long) Uren. On May 21, 1966, Sue married John Phillip Hetrick. He preceded her in death in 1997.

Sue was a 1963 graduate of DAHS. She worked as a secretary for Lakeside Methodist Church, a switch board operator for Penn State DuBois as well as a secretary for Dr. Bradley Magill. She was a lifelong member of the DuBois Lakeside Church where she participated in the church choir, assisted with funeral dinners and anything else someone would come up with that Sue could lend a helping hand. Sue was always happiest when she could to be of service for others. Her family was very important to her and she was a very devoted follower of her faith and read her devotions daily.

On February 25, 2015, Sue moved to Nelson Golden Years where she resided for the last 10 years of her life. She was loved by all of her fellow residents and the staff.
