Known for her welcoming and compassionate spirit, Sister Susanne touched the lives of many, including Benedictine Oblates and visitors to the Monastery. Her spirit radiated a gentle and genuine joy, reflected in her deep-seated spiritual convictions.

I realize how my community connections ripple outward." She will be remembered for her joyful spirit, her love and kindness toward everyone she met. May Sister Susanne be at peace in the loving embrace of God.
