Susie was a graduate of Altoona Catholic High School and was a devout member of Sacred Heart church for 80 years and was a volunteer at St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen for many years.
Her favorite place to be in the world was anywhere with a beach and her family. She enjoyed spending time with friends and loved being a part of her card club for over 50 years. She loved staying up late playing Liverpool rummy with her loved ones, doing puzzles with her husband and finding a good thrift store with her sister, Posey.
Anyone that knew Susie, knows that she would jump at any moment to lend a helping hand wherever she could. Bugga meant so much to so many and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Aug, 14, 2025, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 511 20th St., Altoona, with the Rev. Lubomir Strecok, celebrant.
