Obituaries for the children:
Susan Kay Peters: Susan Kay Agnew, a lifetime resident of Milford, died peacefully, surrounded by her family, on January 30, 2018. She was 69 years old. On January 21, 1949 in Detroit, Howard and Eulaine (Blair) Peters welcomed Susan, their youngest daughter and completed their family of four. Sue was welcomed home by older sister and friend, Joyce (Peters) Eaton. She grew up in the Milford area and graduated from Milford High School. In 1967 she married George Agnew, and moved to Kentucky for a short time while he was serving in the military. On her very own birthday, January 21st, in 1969 she gave birth to Christy (Agnew) Petru. Later that year Sue moved to 721 Manordale Court in Milford, the place she called home for the rest of her life. When Christy was older Sue remained true to her love of children and began her career first working in childcare and then for a local pediatrician. She was most recently employed at the Milford Family Practice until she retired in 2016. For that last 20 years she enjoyed a loving relationship with longtime fiance, Gary Motley. Together they enjoyed traveling, spending time on their boat or at their time share, and socializing with family, friends and neighbors. She was also blessed by being able to spend quality time with her three grandsons, Ryan and Tanner Petru, and Kyle Isaacson, and two granddaughters, Lauren and Rachel. Sue will be remembered as a sweet, caring and strong woman who will be missed by all who were fortunate to know her. She is survived by her companion of over 20 years, Gary Motley; daughter, Christy (Brad) Petru; sister, Joyce (Bob Lobdell) Eaton; grandchildren, Ryan and Tanner Petru; step-daughters, Erica (Troy) Isaacson and Tara (Harry) Motley; nephews, Greg and Kevin; nieces, Kim, Tracy, Terri and Deniece; step-grandchildren, Kyle, Lauren and Rachel.
