Where Are They Now? Susie McNamara
Athletic Department Assistant

Favorite Saint Viator memory:
My favorite memory of my years at Saint Viator was being involved with all the student-athletes and celebrating their accomplishments during their high school experience. What stands out the most was the IHSA State Championship run of the 2017 Baseball team. The playoff games, including the semi-final and final games in Joliet, were just fantastic. The support of the students, parents, teachers, and alumni was outstanding and the final game was the most exciting game I’ve ever attended.
The impact working at Saint Viator had on you:
Working at Saint Viator was a blessing in my life and my family’s…we always felt part of the Viatorian community and we always will.
What made Saint Viator unique:
I always felt the administration cared about me and my family. When my daughter was ill, they always let me adjust my schedule and care for her without question. I will never forget their kindness.
Former colleagues you stay in touch with:
Mary Lou Smith, Eileen Cairo, Judy Amberg, Rose Ruffato, and Peggy Gosch…I stay in touch with current staff members also…Carolyn Gerbatch, Maggie Miskowicz, Kathy Gallagher, Donna Benedict, Miranda Behrens, Jason Kuffel, Dave Archibald & Deb Scerbicke.
Town you currently reside in:
Arlington Heights
What you are doing now:
I love being retired, I walk every day, enjoy cooking, traveling, and hanging out with friends. My husband John '68 and I love spending time in Louisiana where we have a place on the Tangipahoa River. We have lots of friends and family there.
Message for former colleagues and students:
Hope we can continue the alumni get-togethers…always great seeing everyone. So happy to see former students in and around Arlington Heights and I urge them to attend alumni functions at Saint Viator.
