Susan Theresa Morin

Susan T. Morin, resident of Bolster Heights Residential Facility in Auburn, Maine, has passed on to new life in her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on March 30, 2026. She was much loved by her family and friends throughout life, and especially her sister Carol. She is survived by Carol and her brother-in-law and one nephew, Jonathan. She passed away after a long illness.

Susan worked in the nursing field as an LPN, and also in the banking field where she led a team who balanced the bank prior to opening the next day. She was gifted with many artistic talents and even in her teenage years produced oil paintings and pastels of landscapes, and portraits of people and animals. At Edward Little High School, she created artwork often of caricatures for the school paper and yearbooks. She taught herself framing and made her own frames for her oil paintings.

In later years she excelled at quilting by hand and fine embroidery which she often donated for silent auctions to benefit orphanages in Portland, Maine, where she spent most of her life.

She had a great sense of humor. Being her younger sister by 3-4 years, I had a great time with her as my playmate as a child winter sledding or building forts, and it was always interesting to sit at the table and watch her draw or paint on her latest work at the time. She always included me in events she was partaking in such as the Side Walk Art Festival in Portland, Maine at one time when I was still only 17, where she exhibited her work and she asked me to play guitar and sing ballads on the side walk as she talked with interested onlookers. Many of her oils and pastels were of Maine seacoast life and were beautiful. I gained much guidance from her in life, and I will always remember her fondly. She was highly talented with a strong spirit. She will be greatly missed by all of us who knew her—those of us still on earth and many who have preceded her into new life.

I thank the Lord for Susan, my sister. She was often my strength and we went through life together with all the courage we could muster.
