Susan was born on July 7th 1945 in Philadelphia, PA and graduated from Theodore Roosevelt High School in New York City. Throughout her life she held various jobs as a dental assistant, bank clerk, and cashier but her primary focus was as a mother and homemaker.
Susan was blessed with a loving family. She met her husband to be, Richard, at a dance. They married on October 4th 1969. Their romance lasted 53 years and they were blessed with two wonderful children and four amazing grandchildren.
Susan was a one-of-a-kind spirit who lived for the simple things in life. Her sharp wit and infectious laugh would always make you smile. She loved her family very much and there wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do to make them happy. She enjoyed trips to the beach, knitting and crocheting beautiful blankets which she loved to give away as presents year after year, and a good lobster dinner with a cocktail. Susan also loved music, movies and dancing. Her claim to fame was her regular appearance as one of the youngest dancers on the original Philadelphia American Bandstand with her sisters!
Susan was predeceased by her husband Richard. She is survived by her daughter Margaret, her son William (wife Gina) with grandchildren Alexa, Mia, Anthony and Sophia; along with brothers and sisters, nieces, nephews and in-laws.
A “Celebration of Life & Memorial Service” will be held on Saturday November 21, 2026 from 10 am to 12:30 pm at Volusia Memorial Funeral Home, 548 North Nova Road, Ormond Beach, Florida.
