Susan M. Furlan, aged 64, of Parma, OH suddenly passed away on January 28, 2025. Her loss is completely unexpected, and her family is profoundly saddened. 


Susan was born on August 22, 1960 to Katherine and Robert Schilling (both deceased) in Garfield Hts, OH. She was the first of two children: Robert (Bob) Schilling.


Susan began to build a life and family, together with her husband, Raymond Furlan (deceased) and two children: Kasey (Zachary) & Kylie (Johnathan). She continued on in life with spouse, Jack Lindeman who proceeds to treat her children as his own. Susan was an exemplary wife, spouse, mother, sister, aunt and friend. She embodied the best qualities: unconditional love, strength of spirit, wit and humor, and an unending generosity that could be seen in the care for her mother, husband, spouse, children and grandchildren (Johnathan R. & Evelyn), entire family by blood or choice (Sandra Payne) and countless others.


Her departure comes as a great shock and a deep wound, and it is gravely felt by her entire family and countless others who loved her deeply in her wide network of community and friends. The family deeply appreciates your support during this difficult time.


Family and friends received a HOLOWCHAK FUNERAL HOME; 5548 State Rd. Parma OH 44134 on Sunday February 2, 2025 from 5:00 - 7:00 PM and Monday February 3, 2025 from 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM.  Funeral Services will be held at the funeral home at 10:00 AM. Interment at Calvary Cemetery.
