Susan Radick Obituary

Radick, Susan Mary
PRESTON HOLLOW - Susan Mary Radick of Preston Hollow, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Sunday, September 14, 2025, after a prolonged illness.
Born August 10, 1950, in Jamaica, Queens, to Margaret (Sparrow) and William T. Brown, she was a graduate of H. Frank Carey High School, and relocated upstate nearly 47 years ago after a whirlwind romance, thanks to the matchmaking of her aunt, Catherine Whitbeck.
Susan loved to read, making her way through multiple newspapers each day. She routinely defeated her family members in the nightly Jeopardy matches, was an excellent cook, and always stayed on top of all the hottest fashions and current affairs. She had countless jobs on Long Island, served as the Office Manager of CZR/FACTS accounting service, but above all, was a devoted wife and amazing mother.
Aside from her parents, she was predeceased by special aunts, Catherine Whitbeck and Isabelle Peek Clapper; and brothers-in-law, Robert Kemp and Robert Lynk.
She is survived by her husband, Charles Z. Radick of Preston Hollow, whom she met on Thanksgiving 1978, and married December 30, 1978; her children, Keith W. Radick of Conn., Courtney S. Radick (Nicole Esposito) of Pulaski, N.Y., and Zachary C.B. Radick of Preston Hollow, N.Y.; her grandchildren, Sofie and William Radick; her sisters, Margaret Kemp and Deborah (Robert) Stanek; sister-in-law, Nancy Radick Lynk; nieces, Victoria, Alicia, Jessica, Robin and Tamara; nephews, Robert and Charles; along with many cousins, her friends from "the Q" and her church family, whom she greatly appreciated for their generosity with providing weekly meals in these recent years.
All are invited to visit with Susan's family from 5:00–7:00 p.m., on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at Coltrain Funeral Home LLC, 134 River Street, Middleburgh, N.Y. 12122, and to the Memorial service at 2:00 p.m., on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at the Preston Hollow Baptist Church, 3034 State Route 145, Preston Hollow, N.Y. 12469.
