She was raised in Manhattan and worked in the decorating industry, and then was the receptionist for the president of Random House Publishing for 5 years.

They moved to CT, and in 1988, they bought a David's Cookies franchise on Broadway in New Haven which they expanded into a popular 55 seat eatery/hangout which they renamed Bensons. Susie, did all of the cooking. In 1996, Broadway was restructured, and the Bensons location was razed and replaced by a more upscale business. Sue and Kent then moved to Manhattan in 2001. Susie was home again. They lived there until 2018, when they moved back to downtown New Haven. Sue will be missed by many.
She is survived by her beloved uncle Dulaney (Wendy) Glen, and their special 7 children; wonderful aunt Ackerly of Fairfield and her 4 children; kind stepmother, Marianne Farmer and, and a brother Rudy Farmer and his 2 daughters of Burlington, VT; a caring sister, MaryJay (Jay) Mullowney and their 2 daughters; and a brother Peter Farmer of FL; sister-in-law Margie Belanger of FL; and brother-in-law, Bart Belanger of West Haven, and his son Ty Thompson.

Susie - I miss so much not bantering with you in our own language in the living room, and listening to our favorite songs as we constantly drove to the N.J. and Md. shores and to the mountains of Vermont. Those times are fun to remember, but bring sadness knowing they are over. I love you Susie - you´re the one in in a million who could participate in my crazy plans and schemes.

Susie was a warm wonderful woman with a humorous way of looking at life. We met in the 70s rat living Newport Beach California for a short time. We remained close friends for many years Upon returning to the East Coast. Although due to distance we did not get to see each other these last few years the memories and joy I have from her friendship will remain in my heart forever. I can honestly say I've never had a friend I love as much as I loved Susie. Heaven's game is our loss.

ue and I became friends in the fifth grade at P.S. 6 in Manhattan. We spent many years as friends, au summer camp, and my grandmother's home in upstate New York. She loved to play practical jokes, and could always laugh at herself as well. I am so sad that she left the world and her loving husband too soon, but hope she is finding peace and happiness in her next chapter.
