She was an accomplished photographer and enjoyed taking pictures at all her son's games and events. She also loved to read, travel and cook. Another of her favorite activities was to gather with a group of friends on Monday evenings to watch Dancing With the Stars. Susan was very active in the community and her son's schools.

At Madison School she started, edited and produced the first school newspaper helping boost the skills of many budding journalists, comic strip artists and sports reporters. Susan had a great sense of humor and was fond of saying, "It's all about me!!" but in fact it was really all about the people she loved.
