Susan Theresa (Dayutis) Martin, 65, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, November 5th, 2025 at her residence in Franklin, MA. She was born on September 23rd, 1960 to Bernard S. and Marie T. (Ducharme) Dayutis in Worcester, MA and grew up in Grafton, MA where she went to Grafton High School.

She is survived by her three children - Joshua, Maxine, & Mya Martin. She also leaves behind her siblings William and wife Robin Dayutis of Uxbridge, Gail Trajanowski of Panama City, Fl, and Stephen and wife Danielle Dayutis of Spencer. She was predeceased by her sister, Lynne Dayutis, earlier this year. She also leaves behind her loving partner of 15 years, John Pell, and many nieces and nephews.

Susan got her Associates Degree from Quinsigamond Community College in 2014 & worked different jobs throughout her life, but she especially enjoyed working at Harry's Restaurant in Westborough, where she was loved by many customers & the owners. She lived mostly in Grafton, MA until she eventually moved to Franklin, MA for the remainder of her life.

Susan is also remembered by her love for her family & friends, and especially her deep love for her three children, who she loved fiercely, and was deeply proud of. She was an incredibly caring woman, always putting the needs of others before her own, especially the many people she loved. She will also be remembered by her fantastic sense of humor & her great love for all animals. She loved to talk on the phone with her sister Lynne, who was practically her twin. Sue loved to spend time at the beach, specifically Cape Cod, where she could spend hours in the sand, under the sun. Additionally, she enjoyed bike rides through the woods & in her younger years, loved to ride horses as well.

She will be deeply missed and remembered for the loving person that she was.

Funeral services will be held at a later date with updates to follow via Facebook.
