Susan L Rook (Sue) of Williamsport PA, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 10, 2026 surrounded by family. She was born on September, 8, 1938 to the late Gregory and Elouise (Bubb) Beck.
Sue graduated from Williamsport High School the class of 1957 and was a long-time resident of the Williamsport area.
Sue’s work experience started at Tetley Tea in the packaging department before moving to the front office to assume administrative duties. Making a career change she accepted a managerial position at the Andon Nursing Home. One of the extracurricular activities Sue enjoyed while working at Andon Nursing Home were the Day trips with the residents to local amusement parks. The annual activity was to participate in the Mummers parade, with some of the nursing home residents sitting on a float throwing candy to the children watching the parade. Sue’s final career move was working in the Personnel Department as the benefit coordinator at Divine Providence Hospital where she eventually retired.
During Moms retirement she assisted families with support by performing household duties for their elderly and sick family members.
Throughout her years Mom would fondly recall working at the Capital Theater as a teenager with her many cousins and friends.
Above all else, she took pride in cooking for her family and hosting holiday parties.
