Grandma, you were such an amazing woman. You gave us so many wonderful memories and even in your last couple of weeks here on this earth your fun loving and hilarious humor would shine through. You made us laugh even as we celebrated you on your last day during Happy hour. You will be dearly missed! We love you so much!

Grew up across the street and bonded with this loving & caring family. Orville & Marge were such hard workers and all the kids were so disciplined and organized! Rita was the most generous, welcoming person I ever knew. Joe respected Sonny so much and has great memories of early mornings at “Tritt’’s” pie delivery. Marge leaves a legacy of love, compassion, strength and kindness that will live on. Rest In Peace dear Lady

Two Queens have passed away this week, both amazing women, and both will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know them. Queen Slusser was my patient for many years. Her sense of humor would often put me in my place if I dared to question or tease her. There are not many like her and I will miss her as a friend and patient and never forget her. She raised a wonderful family who will remain strong during this time of sadness, as she would only have them be.What a special lady, a true Queen.

I grew up down the street where she lived for so many years. Rita and I are best friends and her mom always smiled. A woman such as Margie was a blessing to know. Even years later when I´d see her and the family she was a Cracker Jack and told it how it was. So many laughs she gave to me. Always took the chance to visit when I could. Loved her and her spirit. Of course I´ll share a glass of wine with you. Any time! When I married Rich I became family

To the entire Slusser family, especially Sonny and Irene and family. Our hearts go out to you as we both know how difficult it is to lose your mother and Grandmother. Your Mom was a special lady with a wonderful sense of humor. We have laughed over the years by some of her sayings and “zings”. She will be greatly missed but we both know she is in a better place now and probably shaking her head at us! We still smile thinking of her and hope you will be able to do the same soon. Love and prayers,

Alan and Tamara

This woman .. what do you say about a woman who was just about as perfect as they come. She was such an amazing woman in so many many ways, there was and never will be a woman like her in my eyes . There is a void here on earth where she walked, and it’s a little dimmer without her light . But Heaven is a little brighter and fuller with her arrival. ❤
