We are sad to announce the passing of Margaret “Sue” Kilianski of Marco Island, Florida. She died suddenly at the age of 84 on June 8, 2023. Sue and her husband Joe were residents of Marco Island for over 21 years.
Sue was born to Paul Mears and Kathryn McCready in Temperanceville, Virginia and attended Virginia Intermont in Bristol, Virginia.
She is survived by Joe, her husband of 61 years, two children, Joe Jr. (Helene) and Jennifer (Glenn), four grandchildren, Joe III, Victoria, Joshua and Meghan, and niece Regina.
She had a great talent and passion for music that began at an early age and continued throughout her life. As a young teenager, Sue was playing the organ and piano for her beloved Atlantic Baptist Church.
Sue is lovingly remembered as an outgoing individual who never met a stranger. Her heart was as big as the outdoors and she was an encourager to many families, friends and even people whom she just met. Her loss is greatly felt and her arrival in Heaven greatly celebrated.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Sue’s memory to Atlantic Baptist Church, 10084 Atlantic Road Atlantic, Virginia 23303. Please include Sue’s name on all memorial donations.
A Memorial Gathering will be held on Marco Island on Saturday, June 17, 2023 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Pier 81 Clubhouse located at 1078 Bald Eagle Drive.
Her family will hold a private celebration of her life at a later date in Texas.
