Sue “Susan” Jane Mu

Sue “Susan” Jane Mu—beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend—passed away on January 28, 2025, at age 75 due to a pre-existing heart condition. A devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Susan lived with faith, served wholeheartedly, and shared unwavering kindness. She found strength and purpose in her beliefs, always striving to uplift those around her.

Susan was born on January 26, 1950, in Pingtung, Taiwan, to Chen Cheng and Mei-Ying Hsieh. She earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Ming Chuan University and later pursued a master’s degree in accounting at Brigham Young University. In 1973, she met David Mu, and they married later the following year. In 1986, they brought their daughters, Lisa and Stephanie, to the Salt Lake Temple, where they were sealed as an eternal family.

Susan built a successful career as an accountant and controller, excelling in her roles at Touche Ross, Cream O’Weber, and Dean Foods, where she was recognized as Employee of the Year. Known for her precision and thoroughness, she set the highest standards in her work, earning the trust and respect of colleagues. Even after retiring, she continued to apply her expertise, helping friends and family navigate their taxes with meticulous care. While her technical skills were exceptional, it was her warmth, tenacity, and generosity that truly defined her. She faced every challenge with determination and unwavering integrity.

She found immense joy in food and cooking, always eager to explore new restaurants and experience different cuisines while traveling. She loved preparing meals for family and friends, turning every dining experience into an adventure. Music also filled her days, bringing her joy and comfort—whether she was listening to her favorite songs or paying her children and grandchildren to play the piano for her.

Beyond her love for food and music, Susan lived to serve others. She consistently put others’ needs ahead of her own, always looking for ways to help those in need. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures—solving Sudokus with quiet focus, getting lost in Korean soap operas, and sharing laughter and wisdom with those lucky enough to know her. Her love of food and cooking, along with her kindness, resilience, and faith, touched everyone who crossed her path and continue to inspire all who knew her.

Susan is reunited in rest with her parents and her husband, David. She is survived by her daughters, Lisa (Jason) Stebbing of Salt Lake City, UT, and Stephanie (Mihir) Bhayani of Chicago, IL; her grandchildren, Hannah Mei, Brandon David, Parker Kade, and Griffin Jason Stebbing, as well as Sloan Anokhi and Nalani Davey Bhayani; her brothers, Wen-Po and Jyi- Shing (Sue-Ping) Chen; and her nephews, Tony, Andy, Michael, and Albert, along with her niece, Raina.

Family and friends will gather to celebrate Susan’s life on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at Larkin Sunset Gardens (1950 E 10600 South, Sandy, UT) at 2:00 PM, with a viewing beforehand from 12:30 to 1:45 PM. After the service, a graveside dedication and interment will take place at Larkin, followed by a light dinner at Salt Lake 6th Ward (2255 S Wasatch Dr, Salt Lake City, UT).
