Susan Axleroad

My deepest sympathies to those who loved and knew Susan. She was an extraordinary person whose knowledge, compassion, and commitment to helping others left a meaningful impact. May the memory of her care and the hope she offered bring comfort and grace to all of us who were fortunate enough to have had her in our lives.

I was fortunate to know Susan from our being participants in the Capitol Area Carcinoid/Neuroendocrine Tumor Survivors group (CACNETS), and later as members of the CACNETS Leadership Group. I was always amazed at Susan's positive spirits, sharp mind, strength and her giving nature. Susan's co-led many of our Monthly Meetings; and whether as a Co-Leader or as a participant, Susan shared her invaluable wisdom, compassion, sense of humor, depth of knowledge and substantive support. Equally...

Susan was a generous member of our cancer support group, CACNETS, sharing information, empathetic support and leadership. She was so thoughtful, articulate and caring. We were all shocked to learn of her untimely passing. Susan will be greatly missed. May her memory be for a blessing. Ilene

I met Susan sometime in 2016 shortly after moving to Harbour Square. We quickly found common ground and shared values and she became a good neighbor and friend. I admired her tenacity in standing up for her values, particularly for affordable and accessible health care. We also shared an appreciation for exquisite chocolate!! She was a kind-hearted soul with a bright mind and a no-nonsense personality. I will miss her and express my condolences to others who knew and loved her.

I first met Susan in 1973 when she was a student in the first cultural anthropology class I taught at Temple University. Needless to say, she was an excellent student and our mentor-student relationship soon became a friendship. I enjoyed my first ever chocolate covered strawberries with Susan and her mother. Following Susan's life and work over the years, I have been continually impressed with her dedication and accomplishments. Susan will be missed. May she rest in peace.
