Susie was born in Seattle Washington in 1946. She moved frequently, but always considered Seattle her home. She graduated from Rainier Beach High School. After marrying the love of her life, Tom, in 1967, she threw her energies into raising their children. She was actively involved in her parish, St. Pius X and later worked there running a before and after school program. She and Tom retired in 1999 and moved to Camano Island where they made new friends and became involved in St. Cecilia parish. They had many travel adventures together, but continued to put family first and enjoyed many celebrations and events with their children and grandchildren. She had many friends and loved being with people. She will always be remembered for her loving acceptance of others, sense of humor and beautiful smile. Everyone who knew Susie, loved her.

A funeral mass will be held at St. Cecilia Catholic Church, 26900 78th Ave. N. W.
Stanwood, on April 18 at 2pm, reception following. In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate donations made in her honor to Warm Beach Senior Community or Evergreen Health hospice care.

She leaves us rich in memories and enduring love.
