Susan grew up in Whitinsville, MA. She graduated from Northbridge High School, and from Bryant College of Rhode Island with a medical secretarial degree. She worked for Doctor Barron of Worcester, and for the Reliant Medical Group for 25 years in Auburn and Millbury. She always had a smile and a joke for her beloved co-workers.
Susan had a variety of interests and talents. She enjoyed cross-stitching, even winning awards for her intricate work. Susan also crocheted and knit beautiful pieces for family and friends. She was an avid reader of many genres, with a fondness for Steven King novels. Susan was a master of jigsaw and crossword puzzles, and had a passion for cooking. She loved traveling to Maine and to Cape Cod. She also enjoyed the occasional lucky junket to Foxwoods with her sister and brother-in-law.
