Suzanne Imondi Obituary
Her life, though cut too short, was filled with love, kindness and an incredible quiet strength. She leaves behind her devoted husband of almost 20 years, Dr. David Imondi, and her beloved children, Grace (age 11) and Dominic (age 9).
Dr. Hebert Imondi was born in Corning, N.Y., on April 25, 1965, to Dr. Normand Hebert and the late Therese Hebert. She was raised in Goffstown, N.H. She was a graduate of Goffstown High School. She received an A.B. in biology from Smith College in 1987 and a doctorate of optometry from the New England College of Optometry in 1991.
After being diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer in 2004, Dr. Hebert Imondi left her profession and focused on advocacy and education for fellow patients with metastatic breast cancer. She became vice president of Metastatic Breast Cancer Network, a national patient advocacy group dedicated to the unique concerns of patients living with metastatic breast cancer.
Her valiant battle with cancer and her national accomplishments in cancer advocacy have been featured in The New York Times, "ABC Nightly News," The Wall Street Journal and Cancer Today magazine. She was the winner of the 2011 National Ladies Home Journal Power of Ten Award, which recognizes women who have made a difference in their community.
In addition to her husband and children, Dr. Hebert Imondi leaves her father, Dr. Normand C. Hebert; her sister, Michele and her husband, Dr. Gil Becker, of Goffstown; brothers Marc Hebert and his wife, Kelly, of Bow and Dr. Daniel Hebert and his wife, Leah, of Amherst, Mass. She leaves her nieces Jenna and Krista Tramonti and Shannon Hebert and nephews Dylan and Harrison Hebert. She also leaves her father-in-law, Harold Imondi, and sister and brother-in-law Lynn and Richard Tramonti. She was recently preceded by her mother Therese Hebert and mother-in-law Rita Imondi, two women whom she loved immensely.
In Suzanne, we have lost a beautiful soul who quietly and gracefully changed the world and she will never be forgotten.

Dear Mr. Imondi, Grace, Dominic, and Georgie,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Mrs. Imondi was such a kind, positive and funny woman, not to mention a wonderful mother. I always loved spending time with Dominic, Grace and George, and I'm so glad I've had the chance of getting to know all of you. She gave me such great advice, she was always willing to help and of course, she always had a smile on her face even when things were tough. You all know how greatly she loved you. I also hope you realize how much I also loved your family, and how much I will miss her. I'm sorry I couldn't come visit because I am back in Montana. However, please continue to send me e-mails and let me know how the kids are, I would love to hear from you all. Again I'm sorry, and I know that such an amazing and bright, passionate mother is blessing you all from Heaven.
Love,
Jess

Suzanne was one of those people who, when you stood next to her, you could feel her kindness and care for others. She was funny, smart, loving and most of all, she loved her family, especially her children Grace and Dominic and her husband, David. I pray that they remember the story of the Waterbugs and Dragonflies. Your mother's love will guide you. Her heart was filled with only goodness. I feel grateful to have been able to call Suzanne my friend. I will miss Suzanne and I will always remember what she taught me. May God's love guide Suzanne into her "wonderful new world of sun and air". God bless your family.
