n were unparalleled. She was always willing to lend a hand and took great pride in a job well done. Many hours were spent volunteering in her children's classrooms, field trips, and especially in the school library. Susan dearly loved animals, especially dogs and cats. One of her greatest joys was taking her dogs for walks and sleeping with one of her cats curled up at her feet. Cooking, baking, crafting in all forms, and gardening brought her immense joy. She also took great delight in listening to music and attending concerts. She had a lovely sense of humor and delighted in the pleasure of the little things. For the last 15 years, Susan battled with early-onset Alzheimer's. She will be dearly missed and gone far, far too soon. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Susan's name to the animal shelter of your choosing.
