Amy Waelchli said, “Susan Bresser is a hometown hero of mine. Susan impacts our community with her joy, good humor, love, and compassion that cannot be contained. She empowers people to serve this community – her congregation is feeding so many people. She supports fellow clergy like me. She leads with clarity that does not falter in difficult times or when facing opposition. She speaks the truth that God loves ALL people and she lives it out. On top of it all, she is an excellent wife, mother, and grandmother, and friend. Susan is my hometown hero and, I believe, is one for all who know her.”

When asked why she does such good work, Susan said, “I love people! It is important especially now, we have to be here for one another and fortunately I can be here for people. Whitewater is amazing! This is awesome! Thank you.”
