Susan Fuchs

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Susan Fuchs of Jackson, NJ. Susan passed away unexpectedly and peacefully on November 7, 2026. She was born on May 8, 1963 in Mill Basin, Brooklyn, New York.

Susan attended Canarsie High School, where she graduated as a valedictorian in 1981. She also attended Monmouth University where she obtained her nursing degree. Susan’s love and reverence for all living things and especially animals was remarkable, she was an unwavering fighter for their health and happiness. She especially loved her cats and cared for them with much devotion. Susan, or Susie to her close friends, was the kind of person that would try and see the best in everybody. She had a big heart, laughed easily and found it easy to forgive people. Her favorite musical artist was Andy Williams. Growing up, all of her friends were dragged to at least two of his shows. Susan had an incredible relationship with her mother. They were girlfriends and would do everything together. They had a very strong bond so it’s almost kismet that she would die on her mom’s birthday.

Later in life, she became enthralled with holistic healing largely due to healing herself in that manner. She would have been a great healer as she had patience to listen, not only externally, but internally as well.

Susan is survived by her loving husband Kaz Szuster of 22 years, sisters-in-law, Diane and Elizabeth, niece Amanda her husband Chris, nephew Tyler and his wife Bianca. Also by her cherished friends, who like her family are left with a very large void in their hearts.’ Susan was predeceased by her parents Nathan and Tatsuyo "Margie" Fuchs.

A private service will be held. In lieu of flowers and in honor of Susan, please donate to your local animal shelter, volunteer to help there or perhaps rescue an animal that you will love as Susan loved every one of hers.
