Sue Hoeppner Vermont Obituary, Death: It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we mourn the passing of Sue Hoeppner, a beloved member of the Vermont community, especially known for her unwavering support of the CVU Girls’ Soccer program. Sue’s sudden departure leaves a tremendous void in the lives of all who knew her, and the outpouring of love and sympathy from the community speaks volumes about the kind of person she was—loving, supportive, and selfless.
Our hearts go out to her husband, Joe, and her son, Marc, during this unimaginably difficult time. Sue’s legacy, especially within the CVU Girls’ Soccer community, will live on for many years to come. She was much more than a mother, wife, and friend—Sue was a source of strength, wisdom, and joy for so many, and her impact stretched far beyond what words can express. For years, Sue and her family were an integral part of the CVU Girls’ Soccer family. Through their involvement, they created a space where emotional conversations, raw truths, and healing could unfold.
The Hoeppner family has always been known for their kindness, their genuine care for others, and their willingness to support anyone in need. Sue, in particular, was the person who created an atmosphere where everyone felt safe, heard, and understood. Whether it was after a tough loss or a triumphant win, Sue’s presence was always one that helped guide, comfort, and strengthen the team and the broader CVU community.
The CVU Girls’ Soccer program, in expressing their condolences, described Sue as a person who facilitated conversations that were both heartfelt and healing. The impact of these conversations cannot be overstated—Sue’s ability to open people’s hearts and help them process difficult emotions made her an invaluable part of the community. From the discussions at team events to the quiet moments where Sue’s words gave comfort, she touched lives in ways that were profound yet often unspoken. Her support was boundless, and her ability to make everyone feel like part of a family is something that will never be forgotten.
Sue’s role in the Project HOePpnEr initiative stands as a testament to the kind of person she was. The Project HOePpnEr game, which became an annual event, symbolized the strength and resilience of the community. Through this initiative, Sue, Joe, Marc, and the entire family showed us all what it meant to embrace each other with love, understanding, and care, even during the most difficult of times. The spirit of the Project HOePpnEr game, and the words from the speech that were given during this year’s event, are a powerful reminder of Sue’s enduring influence.
The final line of that speech, “So as we cheer on our teams today, let’s also commit to being there for each other, on and off the field,” resonates now more than ever. These words serve as a lasting tribute to Sue, reminding us that the bonds we share, whether in moments of joy or grief, are what truly matter. For those who were privileged to know Sue, it is clear that her impact was not just limited to her words but also to her actions. She exemplified the values of kindness, love, and strength, and she lived those values every day. Sue’s ability to lift others up, to give a listening ear when needed, and to extend a helping hand without hesitation, will remain one of her most cherished legacies.
Her ability to inspire others to be their best, to care for those around them, and to support each other during difficult times is something that will continue to echo in the hearts of all who were touched by her. Sue’s family, and particularly her son Marc, were at the heart of everything she did. Her love for her family was evident in the way she devoted herself to supporting her son’s journey, whether in sports, in life, or in his personal growth. Sue was always present at games, practices, and community events, cheering on the players and showing her love for her family and the CVU team. Her presence was a constant, a reminder that no matter the outcome, the love and support of those who cared for you was what truly mattered.
As we reflect on Sue’s life, we find ourselves not only grieving her loss but also celebrating the beautiful, impactful way she lived. She was a wife, mother, friend, and community member who touched the lives of so many. Sue’s legacy is not one defined by her absence but by the lasting impact she made on those around her. She taught us the importance of being there for each other, not just in times of triumph, but especially in moments of challenge and sorrow. Through her example, Sue showed us what it truly means to love and support others, to be present when it matters most, and to create a sense of belonging and warmth within a community.
Sue’s memory will live on in the hearts of her family, her friends, her teammates, and all who were fortunate enough to know her. Her kindness, her strength, and her unwavering commitment to those she loved will continue to serve as a guiding light for all who remember her. The CVU Girls’ Soccer program, and the entire community, will forever carry her spirit with them, and Sue’s presence will be felt every time the team takes the field.
In honoring Sue’s memory, let us take to heart the lessons she taught us. Let us commit to being there for one another, offering support and care in times of need. Let us create spaces where conversations are filled with honesty, compassion, and love. And let us live our lives in a way that honors Sue’s legacy—by embracing the people around us, by lifting them up, and by showing the same kindness and love that she gave so freely. To Joe, Marc, and the entire Hoeppner family, our hearts are with you during this difficult time.
We wish you strength, peace, and comfort in the days ahead. Sue’s love and impact will live on, and she will never be forgotten. Her legacy will continue to inspire, uplift, and guide the community she so dearly loved. Rest in peace, Sue. Your light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew you, and your spirit will forever be a part of the CVU Girls’ Soccer family. Thank you for the love, laughter, and wisdom you shared with us all. You will be deeply missed but always remembered with love.
