Susan Boroskas Obituary

Susan A. Boroskas, 70, of Manchester, passed away on Friday, December 19, 2025 surrounded by her loving family.

She was born in Providence, RI, on October 21, 1955 to the late John McLacken and Josephine (Starsiak). Susan graduated from the Culinary Institute of America, Johnson and Wales, and the SNHU Masters program. Susan worked in restaurants in Rhode Island, New York and Nantucket. She taught both baking and culinary arts at Johnson and Wales and also at Manchester Skill Center and SNHU. In her last 30+ years of work she was the Child Nutrition Director for the Raymond School District and the Derry Cooperative School District.

Susan was an avid reader and loved to do jigsaw puzzles with her friend, Dave Wishinski, whom she thought of as a second son. She also enjoyed spending time shopping at her favorite Hallmark store, purchasing Yankee Candles, and browsing at Simon Pearce. One of her favorite things to do was spending time in her beautiful yard with Michael and her French bulldog, Julia. She loved to look at the flowers that she and Dave would plant together each spring.

She is survived by her loving husband, Michael, of 40 years, son Adam, brother John McLacken and sister-in-law Christine of East Providence Rhode Island, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and nieces and nephews.

Michael and Family,

I am so saddened to hear of Sue's passing. Several of our second grade teachers invited Sue into our classrooms when we did our health unit and focussed on healthy, nutritious food group choices. She shared with our second graders her job and the thinking that went into planning the daily breakfast and lunch choices for the district wide monthly meal.The highlight for the students was planning a healthy lunch under Sue's guidance and having it acknowledged in her monthly meal calendar. I think the highlights for Sue were her visitations to our classrooms and hellos that greeted her in the hallways of Grinnell School.

My deepest condolences to you all.
