Leaving behind her dearest sister Pauline Schmoll (Savaria)

Susan was predeceased by their beloved daughter Jennifer; sister Karen Savaria; brother in law John Schmoll; mother Delores Savaria; and father William Savaria. The memory of these cherished family members remained close to Susan's heart throughout their life.

Beyond her professional accomplishments and family devotion, Susan embraced life with warmth and generosity.

Susan will be remembered always-with love that endures beyond words and presence that remains forever in our hearts.
