Susan P. Connor

My husband and I loved Susan. She was a gentle, kind soul... We were friends through work and then on the outside too. We had deep talks about faith. She touched so many people. My honey and I had a lot of health problems and life was hard. Long ago, she saw we were having car problems. She actually gave us her old car after she bought a new one. Rest in shalom, dear heart. You are never forgotten.

I worked with Sue at Prudential Insurance when they were located on North St. across from Holy Family Church, and was one of those in the Front seat of her car as we returned from an Elton John Concert at Ithaca College where we got in a severe car accident on the way home. I think Sue broke her collar bone and most of us others were in shock as we were carried off to hospital to get checked out. The next day Sue cried saying that she endangered eeryone - never admitting she was the person...

Sue and I were classmates at Mount Carmel. She was a beautiful person then too. The world has lost another angel.

Susan was my belated wife Kathleen Ryan's best friend growing up. They did everything together! Susan was a very special person in our Iives in our younger years and was a bridesmaid in our wedding. Susan went out of her way to attend Kathy's service here in Maryland and we rekindled some great stories of the two of them growing up in the east end of Auburn. My thoughts and prayers will be with Susan, Katie and the Connor family when in church this week. Maybe, they'll bake some cookies...
