So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was a wonderful lady and it was an honor to her.

She was a tremendous woman, mother, and citizen. She and her husband were fantastic people and real icons of the area. I was blessed to be able work her husband - and both were always increadibly friendly and wonderful to talk to.

This is sad news. Ever since the time I met Sue Ellen, she was someone I admired and respected dearly. When I found out that Dr. Panitch was the one who put me back together from a high school football injury I shared the story with both of them at a dinner and I just remember how big their eyes lit up and the laugh we shared. She will be missed dearly.

I was so fortunate to have known Sue Ellen. She was an inspiration to all who knew her. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. My condolences to her family.

Dear Mimi, Debbie, Jack and Alyssa, I am so sorry to hear this news. Your mom was a powerhouse and inspiration to many. One of my many fond memories of your mom is being part of the Ecology Committee at Holyoke High School. Once a month, citizens of Holyoke would drop off their newspapers, aluminum and bottles. We would unload the recyclables, take bottle cap rings off with screwdrivers and the highlight of the day was when Mrs. Panitch would treat all the workers with McDonald...

Sue Ellen will be missed. As stated, she left a lasting impact on our city. An impact that will last a lifetime!

Knowing her was not just a pleasure, but an honor. Her loss is immeasurable, as is her impact that will continue to be felt for a long time. My sympathies to her family and all who love her.

Jack and family, so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. We wish you peace of mind at this difficult time.
