It's hard to believe a year has passed already since we lost Sue. We will forever remember her smile and her bubbly personality. She was always up for a lively conversation.

I'm just reading this months later, sorry for your mothers passing. I worked with your mother at Staples in Cheshire, we shared laughs, many meals-drinks and visits with the dogs. She was like no one I've ever met she enjoyed life to the fullest. she will be missed.

Dear Tom, Mike, and Paul,
I am so very sorry about your mom´s passing. Your mom, my Aunt Sue was someone who always took the time to talk and catch up whenever the Reilly family got together. She genuinely was interested and would always ask questions.
I also appreciated all of the family history that she passed on about Captain Ellis.
I have fond memories of hanging out as kids, playing tag in the basement of the apartments.
Please let us know if there is a service for her.
My deepest...

As a former Nationwider from the early days with her on Skiff Street in Hamden, Suzanne always greeted everyone with a smile. For a time it was a competition of who she loved more, Ray, or her horses. I believe the photo of her accompanying this obituary was one that graced the cover of our Nationwide corporate magazine in the 60's! Sorry for the loss to all who knew her and loved her!

Dear Thomas Michael and Paul
I am heartbroken. Sue was a treasure and I will never forget her. She was one of the first people to walk through our doors at Sergio´s back in the day. She became part of our family. She got to know each and every one of us and would ALWAYS have a story to tell to one of us about something she had heard or read. I would yell Susie Q!!! when she walked in the door with a big smile and hoping she had a good story to tell which she always did. When I started to...

I would like to extend my deepest condolences to Tom, Mike, and Paul and the Hadley family of the passing of my Aunt Sue.
I have very fond memories of Aunt Sue over the many years she was apart of the extended Reilly family, starting with my very first experience seeing her at the Dairy Queen in Cheshire during the summer of 1968 and me asking her sheepishly "are you my Aunt Sue?" (I was 8 at the time) and she never let me forget that moment whenever we got together at a Reilly family...

Sue was our neighbor and friend the 9 years we lived across the street. We shared our love for Shetland sheepdog, flowers and nature. May she rest in peace. My condolences to her very loved sons and grandchildren.

Sue's passing saddens us deeply. We have so many fond memories of all of those 3rd of July gatherings at Vinny and Mary Ellen's on the West Haven shoreline. She was always so friendly and eager to engage in conversations of all kinds. She was the only female in a male dominated household, but she ruled the roost. Her husband Ray was always part of the fireworks committee down on the seawall on the end of Baldwin Street and did a spectacular job wowing the crowd. Sue's first born, Tom,...
