Suzanne P. Calfee

Boca Raton, FL - Suzanne Patrice (Conrad) Calfee, born October 30, 1967, died peacefully in her sleep on March 3, 2019. She was 51 years old.

Suzanne lived in Boca Raton, Florida with her devoted husband Jim Calfee near the ocean beaches that she loved to visit. Suzanne was the daughter of Donald J. Conrad and was preceded in death by her mother, Patricia A. (Lawrence) Conrad. She was stepdaughter to Pat (Worley) Conrad.

Suzanne graduated from Delone Catholic High School in 1985 and subsequently earned her Bachelor of Arts in Labor Studies & Industrial Relations from Penn State University. Suzanne was forever Penn State Proud, often sporting the blue and white of her Nittany Lions. Professionally, Suzanne started in an entry level retail position at Montgomery Ward and rose through the ranks of various companies until becoming the Senior Vice President for Human Resources at Kaplan Higher Education in Fort Lauderdale. Throughout her life, Suzanne loved to sing. Early on, she was a cantor at Annunciation B.V.M. church, and she continued to sing as an adult performing karaoke whenever she had the chance. Suzanne was also an avid animal lover who doted on her French bulldogs Nova and Shasta. Suzanne could light up any room she walked into with her big smile, bright eyes and positive attitude. That positive attitude remained with her to the end as she faced her biggest challenge. Suzanne will be missed dearly by all who knew her.

Suzanne is survived by 6 siblings, Joe Conrad and wife Kathy, Den Conrad and wife Carolyn "Cubby", Rick Conrad and wife Laura, Andy Conrad and wife Deb, Kathy (Conrad) Bealing and husband Brad, Nick Conrad and wife Sharron. Suzanne is also survived by 14 nieces and nephews as well as 10 great nieces and nephews. Suzanne had a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, as well as close friends and a workplace "family". She was well loved by many and is deeply mourned in her passing.

A graveside service for the immediate family will be held at 11:00 a.m. on March 9, 2019 at Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Cemetery in McSherrystown, PA. Extended family and friends will be invited to a memorial celebration of Suzanne's life at a date and place to be determined. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Suzanne's name to the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (https://ocrahope.org/).

I just learned of Suzanne's passing and am deeply sorry.... Suzanne and I met years ago through our mutual professions as Chief HR Officers in higher education. She was a strong, funny, energetic, innovative and passionate woman and I absolutely loved being in her company. I will always remember her and how she could light up a room. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers...

Our hearts are broken at the loss of such a beautiful person. Suzanne will be greatly missed. She always greeted us with a smile and some wisecrack about my husband's favorite football team. :-) Heaven has gained a very special angel. Fly high Suzanne and send love to your beloved Jim.

I am so incredibly saddened by Suzanne's passing. Smart, funny, professional, engaging, warm hearted and kind, Suzanne had a profound effect on my time at Kaplan. More than a "Boss", Suzanne was a talented negotiator who always left me feeling that the solution was a shared collaboration between equals. Although I hadn't seen or talked to her in a few years, this hit me hard and I pray that Jim and the whole Conrad family will find peace and comfort in knowing that she is serving at the right hand of the greatest "Boss" known to mankind: Jesus Christ.

Don, Pat, and all of the Conrad family: Please accept my sincere sympathy and continuing prayers.

I always considered Suzanne (Sue Babe) my second daughter (which I never had). Her bubbly personality and smile was ALWAYS part of her.
