Susan Kay Gampper, 83 years young of Lenexa, KS, passed on May 12, 2026

Susan was born in Topeka, KS on March 5, 1943, to Leo and Erna Reicherter.  Susan was a graduate of Topeka High School, Washburn University with a bachelor’s in education, a Master from Webster University and her ESOL Endorsement from Kansas University.  Susan’s passion for education led to over 60 years of teaching.  Her family learned 20 years ago to stop asking her when she was going to retire.

Susan’s weekend plans revolved around Chiefs, K-State Games, and Mass.  She was known for her love of animals, personal style, generosity and pride in her family.

Susan is survived by her husband Chuck Gampper of 60 years, sister Marty Fletcher, (Rick Croucher), sisters-in-law, Margaret Gampper and Shirley Gampper and a group of nieces, nephews, who all were blessed by having time with Aunt Susan.
