I worked with Susie many years ago when she resided in Burlington. She had a unique sense of humor and often brought me to my knees with uncontrollable laughter. The most memorable and debatable times were at the Avon High School Track. We shared the same feelings about walking in circles, I however had to mask my opinions. Susie always wanted to hang onto my arm, the more we walked, the more I seemed to be pulling her along. I certainly got my exercise in! The whole way she was quietly giggling and leaning/hanging.
At the end we had to climb up a steep hill to the van. One night, Susie started falling backwards towards me. I instinctively pushed her forward, this surprised her and she ended up on all fours. We both completely lost it! The rest of the way consisted of her telling me to help push her as we each crawled to the top. I couldn’t bring myself to look down at the many, many people who were still getting their evening workout in.
Over the years, I have thought of Susie often and have shared this story many times. I still laugh just as hard as I did back then. This is how I will always remember her! Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Haha - Susie lived for desserts - (like me!) We loved your (Nancy’s) chocolate brownies and that pecan chocolate tart! And yes - she was a total flirt! Such a fun loving sweet gal. She will be greatly missed. Louise, you were the epitome of a wonderful loving supportive mother, always. Nancy - the best sis a gal could have-always there at the ready to advocate on every issue on Susie’s behalf. No regrets or second thoughts about how awesome and supportive you both were. May she Rest In Peace- all who knew her will remember that smile.
