Susie was a 1966 graduate of Boardman High School.  She was a devoted Christian and was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses at the age of 13.  She spent most of her earlier years preaching and teaching others about God’s Word, the Bible, giving them a real hope for the future.  Susie continued doing so until her last breath.

Susie had a passion for floral arranging and decorating and did so for countless weddings, parties and other large events.  She loved photography, playing piano and bred Persian and Himalayan cats for a number of years.  Being devoted Christians, both Susie and husband, graciously opened their home for numerous people, both young and old, caring for their greatest needs during hard times.  She was considered by many as a “second” Mom.

Susie, will be dearly remembered for her generosity, selflessness, love for life, quirky sense of humor, determination and devotion to her family, friends, and for her undying faith and appreciation of God’s grand creation.

The family wants to thank the staff of Crossroads Hospice of Akron for their tender care and compassion.  They treated Susie with the utmost respect and love during her final days.
