Featured obituary:

Susan Ding-neh Sih, 88, of Kenilworth, retired restauranteur, teacher, and business woman, passed away September 2, 2018. After attending St Elizabeth’s College in New Jersey, and later graduating from New York University with a degree in business, Susan settled in New York with her husband Julius W. Sih. They had two children before moving to Park Forest, Illinois in 1957. She received her Illinois teacher’s certificate and taught second grade in the Crete Monee School District in Monee, Illinois.

Susan and several other Chinese friends opened Dragon Inn, one of the first Mandarin restaurants in Chicago’s suburbs, in 1964. Later, Dragon Seed was opened in the Lincoln Park neighborhood and Dragon Inn North followed in north suburban Glenview.

In the Eighties, she became interested in real estate and successfully bought and sold property.

Susan and Julius were longtime members of the Michigan Shores Club in Wilmette, Illinois.

Susan is the beloved wife of 62 years to the late Julius W. Sih; loving mother of Jeanette and Daniel; dear sister of William (Harriet) Wang; and fond “Auntie” to many others.
