Multiple System Atrophy United Research Consortium

On Sunday morning, December 15, 2024 Susan (Aniszewski) Panella, 74, a beloved wife, mother, teacher, and friend, died peacefully in her family home after a multi-year long battle with Multiple System Atrophy, a rare variant of Parkinson’s Disease. One of the more difficult aspects of her battle was, as a rare disease, it was incredibly hard to achieve a diagnosis and treatment plan. It took over two years to determine what Sue was actually fighting.

This gofundme campaign has been established in Sue's name. Donations will go directly to the Multiple System Atrophy United Research Consortium. https://www.msaunited.org/

In lieu of flowers, we ask you to consider a donation of any size to this cause in Susan's name.

Love, the Panella family
