Susan received her Nursing Degree from Cortland County Community College and her Master of Science in Nursing from Mass General. She spent her career as a Nurse Practitioner in the Boston area, Hawaii, Arizona, New Hampshire and New Mexico. She most recently opened Mountain Sage Medico, LLC in 2022 in Santa Fe where she specialized in Rheumatology in addition to Geriatrics and Family Practice. She worked tirelessly and endlessly on behalf of all her patients, whom she considered family. She gifted comfort blankets, some made by her mother, to her infusion patients and always made time for anyone who walked in needing Susan's care.
Susan will be remembered for her love of life including family, friends, animals, nature, art and Santa Fe. She fostered and adopted cats, chickens, birds and any creature that needed care and a home. She was a creative soul who enjoyed knitting, sewing, card making and many other crafts. Susan designed each project specifically for the recipient.
She was a beautiful spirit who meant the world to so many, listened first, gave input last, made everyone feel special in some way. We are all so blessed to have had Susan in our lives.
