Susan Leilani Schrader, 58, of Edison, passed away on March 9, 2018 in Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center, New Brunswick. Born on the Patrick Air Force Base in Merritt Island, Florida on October 13, 1959 to her late mother Joanne E. Hudson and surviving father Richard R. Schrader. She resided in Florida and California before moving to New Jersey.
Susan was predeceased by her husband, Robert Jacob Buco in 2002.

Growing up, she loved spending time in Hawaii with her grandparents, Kenneth and Alice. She enjoyed spending her early mornings outside with a hot cup of coffee and her beloved dog, Dexter. Crafting and crocheting were two of her favorite hobbies. Over the years she has completed many special projects including several beautifully crocheted afghan blankets. She was kind, caring and had a wonderful sense of humor. Her smile was contagious and she was always the life of the party.
