SUSAN ROLFE

ROLFE--Susan Sulzberger.

On October 23, 2017, at home, of natural causes. She loved life and life loved her. Adoring and adored mother of Joanne R. ("Jody") Quinn, Myron Sulzberger ("Mickey") Rolfe, and Penny R. Sullivan and our husbands Roger, Bruce, and Tim. Grandmother of Billy, Teddy, and Tom. Great-grandmother of three adorable little girls. Ex-wife of the recently deceased Tony Rolfe, and dear friend to many world-wide. Our mother was a rare physical beauty, and a fun, kind, and thoughtful lady as well. Susan, a native New Yorker, was a graduate of The Dalton School, and of The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in its heyday in the early 1950s where she was a student of Sandy Meisner. Our mom was a former actress, an art lover and advisor, a former member of the Christie's auction house family. She was a frequent and curious world traveler, and an enthusiastic amateur photographer. Suzy rarely missed a Met opera opening night, where she was a longtime subscriber, was seen in Bill Cunningham's column, and lunched with the ladies. Her boundless love lives on through us and our children and our children's children. Warm hugs to Gladys Johnson, our mother's longtime friend and homekeeper, and we gratefully acknowledge her nurses Kathleen and Geraldine who cared for her as if she were their own. We also extend our gratitude to Calvary Hospital Hospice. Services entrusted to Frank E. Campbell, The Funeral Chapel, 1076 Madison Avenue at 81st Street, where we will receive family and friends from 5:30pm to 8pm on Monday, October 30th, with a celebration of her life at 11:30am in the Chapel at Campbell's on Tuesday, October 31st.
