Susan McGilvery

January 25, 1978- November 19, 2025

We will love you forever.

Our sister was our bright light and best teacher.

May Susan’s greatest gift to us be the grace we offer others and an understanding that many face lives far more challenging than our own. May she remind us all that simple acts of kindness can change lives and that we are a better, brighter world when we create space for everyone.

Susan visited in October for the Opportunity Works Gala celebrating and supporting people of abilities. Our friends were her friends. They were so good to her. She had a great night!

With Love and Gratitude,

Keith & The McGilvery family
