Susan M. Scherer

I still recall how Susan would always seek me out at very large events -- galas, press events, ribbon cuttings -- to discuss issues that were urgent and important to us.... encounters that always made me feel relevant. Then I would watch her seek out the next person, and then the next, and then the next....By the end of these events Susan had pretty much touched the entire room. Issues were discussed, actions outlined, promises made...and our world was always better for it. Thanks, Susan,...

Susan was a great mentor. Candid, insightful, eclectic in her experiences, and always wise, I always learned from our encounters. Always too brief, and too few.... but forever cherished. We are all diminished by her departure -- but strengthened by her advice and example.

We at the Malta House of Care were devastated to hear about Susan's passing. Like so many others, we greatly enjoyed and appreciated her boundless intelligence; uncanny ability to remember people and connections -- and to keep making them!; her warm and gracious demeanor; and her insatiable desire to learn and grow.

While I have not met any of you, I feel as though I know you Susan had a wonderful way of sharing the joy of and pride in her family, especially as it grew with daughters-in-law and grandchildren.

Our deepest sympathy to the entire Scherer family. We only recently met Susan. The entire staff enjoyed her wit and smile. She was so looking forward to creating a Thanksgiving Feast with her loving family. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Dear Henry, Charles, Tony, and family: I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Susan, a dear friend, mentor, and cheerleader of mine for decades. Susan mentored me in my early twenties when I was working in my families printing business and Susan was launching Luettgens Limited. She was a vibrant, classy and smart business woman.

In later years, Susan assisted me in becoming the Co-Chair of Chrysalis Center's Capital Campaign, to build our headquarters at the former Sealtest...

I worked for Susan at the University of Hartford, and always found her to be extremely warm, caring, and generous, with a great sense of humor. Long after she left the University, she stayed in touch with many of us and really cared about how we were doing. My deepest sympathies to Susan's family and friends.
