Obituary of Susan T. Shaffer

Susan passed away suddenly at age 73 on January 27, 2020 due to complications of Parkinson’s Disease.

She was born on August 9, 1946 and lived in Alfred, NY until she moved to Rochester in 1967 to work at Eastman Kodak Company. She retired from Kodak to spend more time with her husband Mel whom she married September 22, 1990. In her retirement years she spent many hours managing the gift shop at Rochester General Hospital until her health prevented her from the work she loved. Her other passion was the Kidney Foundation in memory of Mel.

Thank you to Heather Heights of Pittsford assisted living for their tremendous care and love of her this past year.
