Frank and Susan lived in New Paltz, New York for many years where they built a home and started their family. In 1994, they moved to Arizona to escape the harsh New York winters and try their hands at desert life.
Susan was a Cecchetti trained ballerina and anyone who knows her, knows that dancing was her absolute passion. She was a talented dancer, an encouraging teacher, a beloved wife, and a devoted mother who also loved to cook, was an avid movie critic, and always loved to add her own flair and pizzazz to everything. Her loved ones knew her as "Susie" or "Suz" and could always count on her sense of humor and her sharp New York whit. Susan was a very special human who influenced many, was dearly loved, and will be greatly missed. Special thanks to Susan's caretakers at Famiglia Amore for their outstanding compassion and support over the past few months. A small memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 31, 2020 at 2pm at Evergreen Cemetery: 3015 N. Oracle Rd, Tucson, AZ, 85705.
