Susan Boland Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 4, 2025.
Susan Lee Boland passed away on August 3, 2025, at the age of 81 years after a brief and bravely fought battle with cancer. Born to Mary Katherine and Norman Lee Apple in Rochester, PA, Sue grew up alongside her siblings Janis and William 'Bill.' She was a lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan. After pursuing higher education she became an elementary school teacher. Later, she worked various retail jobs in Leesburg, including Whites, Ben Franklin, and My Friends and Me-each role a reflection of her friendly nature and dedication to service. She was a beloved member of her community, making friends wherever she went. Those who knew her were often lucky recipients of her Hallmark cards throughout each year. She loved giving and receiving greeting cards and maintained long-term correspondence with many friends. She enjoyed the associations and friendships she made through the Red Hat Society and the Women's Club of Loudoun. She leaves: her devoted husband, Edwin Boland; her children Kellie Sue (and Andy) Owens, Eric Lee (and Michelle) Johnson, and stepdaughter Liz (and Greg) Stillman; grandchildren Calvin (and Megan) Owens, Philip (and Ashley) Owens, Cole Johnson, Dylan Johnson, and Max Johnson; and great-grandchildren Petunia Owens, Lorelai Owens, and Otis Owens. She will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, and friend. Her legacy of love, thoughtfulness, and friendship lives on in the hearts of all who knew her. Family and friends are invited to a gathering on Wednesday, August 13 at 1:00pm with a service at 2:00pm at Colonial Funeral Home (201 Edwards Ferry Road, Leesburg). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Adler Capital Caring Hospice Center.
