Susan A. Stripe

Susan lived most of her 62 years in the Portage Lakes area enjoying retirement and the many walks on the beaches of Fort Myers and Sanibel for the past 5 snowbird years, as well as the main stay summer fun and social interaction from family and friends centered around the pool that Sean built.

The sudden shock of her departure from the hearts and arms of us here on earth can only be calmed by the fact that she was receptive to once again be in the arms of those who she had once loved, and to share eternity with her beloved God. Susan was devoted to her Catholic Religion and shared her loving care and generosity in more ways than imaginable. Susan will always be loved and remembered by all of us left standing. God bless!
