Susan Elizabeth "Sue" Ironfield

Susan "Sue" Elizabeth Ironfield (née Carson) passed away very peacefully on March 15, 2024, in Hartford, CT, at the age of 79 surrounded by her family. She was born on January 7, 1945, in Manchester, CT. Sue retired from the United States Postal Service in 2009 after more than 39 years of loyal and professional service as a BME technician.

Many knew Sue as a passionate individual, especially when it came to causes she cared deeply about, such as animals, the military, and supporting President Trump. She generously donated to these causes over an extended period, always striving to make a difference whether to save a tiger or help a veteran have a better life and she never wavered. Sue will be remembered for her strong views and infectious laughter.

Sue will be deeply missed by her surviving family, including her sons James Kissell (Pam Forghetti) of South Windsor, CT, and Harley Ironfield (Suzanne Loesch) of Albuquerque, NM; her sister Anita Nicolazzo (Antonio Nicolazzo) of Little River, SC; her nephews Nicholas Tedone and Michael Nicolazzo; her grandchildren Ambyr Lennon (Mark) of Navarre, FL, James David (JD) Ironfield of Milton, FL, Sheyanna Frymyer (Tim Frymyer) of Morgantown, WV, and Neil Ironfield (Alyssa Ironfield) of Hampton, VA;
Jake Kissell of East Windsor, CT as well as her five great-grandchildren Chase Stevens, Aeyla Lalone, Parker Frymyer, Julia Jean Frymyer, and Rozlyn Ironfield.

Sue was preceded in death by her husband James Ironfield, father James Neil Carson, mother Ruby Eileen (Waite) Carson, brother Neil Carson, sister Maureen Carson, and other family members.

She attended Lincoln School for primary education and graduated from Manchester High School in 1963. Sue worshipped at Crossroads Community Cathedral in East Hartford, CT, and enjoyed hobbies such as bowling, line dancing, hiking, and walking her dogs by Bolton Lake.

There will be no calling hours. A private celebration of life will be held at a future date. Memorial donations can be made in her memory to a veterans or animal support organization of your choice.

The family is being assisted by the funeral home, and contributions can be made to honor Sue's memory.
