Sue Siegel

I first met Sue Siegal when I was in college and was a fit model for her clothing company, and then 20 years later we reconnected and I facilitated a board meeting for Hearth Homes as a business coach. She was always warm, generous and kind. Sue was just so extraordinary in every way and I will always remember who she was. Her presence and legacy will always be remembered. Sending all her family members love and comfort. Warmest regards, Rita Hovakimian

Sue was the most important woman in my childhood, after my mother. At age five, I felt her warm welcome and unconditional love when I often came to stay at the Siegal's home in Berkeley. At age eight, after my mother died, Sue became my idol and, later, my role model of a working single mother, something I would also become in time when widowed as she was. Sue has lived in my heart for almost 70 years and will continue to do so as long as I live.
