For nearly two decades, Susan did what she loved best: write about the area she called home. She died at the age of 67, just months after retiring from her position with the News-Times and the Greater New Milford Spectrum.

She was born in New Milford, Connecticut, and graduated from New Milford High School. Susan attended Reed as an Eliot Scholar in 1984–85 and enrolled as a matriculated student in 1985, but quit after the spring semester in 1988. After earning her master’s degree from West Connecticut State University, she worked as a reporter for the New Milford Times, News-Times, and the Spectrum for more than 20 years.She loved literature and the arts, belonged to a poetry group, and wrote a book, The Presence of Loss, which was a collection of short stories and poetry. She was also an advocate for the mental health community. Her mother, Helen Tuz, brother, Michael, and sister, Patricia Monaco, survive Susan.
