Susan L. Mocas

With a heavy heart, we share the passing of Susan L. Mocas. Susan L. Mocas, of Indianapolis, IN, was born June 05, 1941, to John L. McCord and Eleanor B. McCord. She graduated from Broad Ripple High School in 1958 and graduated from Indiana University in 1962. After graduation she raised three children and worked at IBM for 32 years, where she retired in 1996.

Sue was proud to be a member of the Midwest Divers Scuba Club where she became an avid diver over the years obtaining several PADI diver certifications with the highest being Rescue Diver. She dove in all-weather from Indiana rock quarry Ice dives to Bahamas Islands and eventually Papua New Guinea in Fiji.

She was a member of St. Lukes United Methodist Church where she was active in several groups and spent many years supporting clubs and the congregation.

Sue volunteered at the Indianapolis Zoo where she spent many years providing care for the animals. She received the 10,000 hours of service award and the Top 25 award for volunteer hours at the zoo. She cleaned the shark tank and worked in the Summer's pavilion, where she tidied up after the reptiles.

For the past two years, Sue lived in Memory Care in Beavercreek, Ohio, courageously facing dementia. She was safe and well cared for, even as the disease gradually took away so much of who she was and how she experienced the world. Yet, despite these challenges, she would still smile whenever her favorite song played, reminding all of us of the warmth and joy she always brought to those around her.

Susan had a gentle warmth and kindness that touched so many people. She leaves behind a lifetime of love, laughter, and determination, along with countless memories that will always be carried in our hearts.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John Lisle and Elennor Bernard McCord; her son, Robert J. Solberg; her brother, Bob McCord; and her husband, Verlin A. Mocas.

Susan is survived by, and will lovingly be remembered by her daughter, Barbara Williams; her son, Patrick Solberg; his wife, Carrie Solberg; her granddaughter, Leah Solberg; and her grandson, Bryce Solberg.
