Susan Gordon

Susan Cynthia (Kass) Gordon, age 77, passed away after a brief illness on November 28, 2025, surrounded by family.
She was born on March 27, 1948, in Columbus, Ohio to Joseph and Thea Kass. Thea died when Sue was a young girl. Her father remarried Antonina Kass, who brought Sue up.

Sue attended University of Cincinnati and received her bachelor’s degree from the Ohio State University.

She joined the family business, Anchor Lighting, and managed it with her brother Lee for nearly 20 years. She completed her career as a financial analyst at Nationwide Insurance.
A natural conversationalist, Sue had many friends. She loved baking for friends and family (and they loved it as well), travelling to warm destinations, and doting on her grandsons, Reuben and Sidney. She also loved spending time at the Bexley pool and the senior center, as well as eating fried chicken and donuts!
Sue is survived by her children, Jason (Merrily) Gordon and Alicia (Doug) Krauss; brothers, Alfred (Sandy) Kass, Frank (Linda) Kass, and Lee (Suzanne) Kass; grandsons, Reuben and Sidney; former husband and friend Nathan Gordon; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her father, Joseph, and her mothers, Thea and Antonina.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at Epstein Memorial Chapel, 3232 E. Main St. Interment will follow at the New Tifereth Cemetery. Immediately following, the family will be sitting Shiva at Tifereth Israel synagogue.

Memorials or donations may be made to the Jessica Kass Fund at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, or the charity of one’s choice.
