Susan lived across the street from me on Cedar St “when we were young.” We walked to school together, spent many afternoons in my living room commiserating about goings on; then we drove to school together once we turned 16. I always admired her brilliant brain. I’m sure her family will miss her terribly. Please accept my condolences. Barbara Fine Maguire
Janet, I didn’t know Susan at all, but if she was anything like you, dear friend, then she would have been a joy to have known, love, Connie
So many memories I cannot post one. I will say it is from Susan that I got my love of reading and movies from.
Fast friends from the time we met in the 7th grade, Susan was my anchor as I frequently spiraled into mischief… to include our summers on The Cape with Keo and our pilgrimage to Woodstock! Neither time nor distance came between us. She is forever in my heart. May her family be comforted knowing how deeply loved Susan was by so many. Karen MacDonald, aka “Mac”

We will miss our dear friend so much. All the years through so much. Susan was always “there” for all of us, kind, interested, helpful and caring. The memories will stay with us and comfort us . RIP dear friend🙏
Susan and I became friends working at our first job at Brighams in Wakefield and were friends for 60 years. With all that Susan went through she was still a positive and caring person. She had the same birthday as my son and several other family members had birthdays the same week so in 1996 we started doing the “August birthdays”. Susan was there for most of them as part of our family group, the final time in 2019. My entire family knew and loved Susan and she will be missed by all of us. Rest In Peace dear friend.

Hi Janet, this is Connie,, I didn’t know Susan at all. I think it might’ve been nice to have met her because if she’s in pain like you it would’ve been wonderful experience. Love, Connie.
Hi Janet, is Connie again to make a correction on my post, if Susan is anything like you, it would have been a wonderful pleasure to have known her💕
