I worked with Susan at John C Murphy Heath Center. She was a dedicated Nurse Practitioner, loved her patients. Even after she retired, she stayed in contact with me by sending encouraging words through Facebook. She is no longer in pain. My condolences to the families.
I’ll miss aunt Susan’s sassy wit and grit to stand up for what she believed in. Don’t cross her or you’ll hear about it! Ha
As a nurse and a nun she must have helped so many throughout her life… more people than any of can know and fully appreciate.
I’ll miss her and won’t forget her.
Susan was an authentic, caring human being. She was a member of the John Marie Riley Sharing of the Heart Group. We could always count on Susan to come out with a witty comment or a different point of view. She kept us on our toes. She really loved her family. My deepest sympathy to you her family.
