She taught her children to be self-reliant, even disassembling and repairing a carburetor on the kitchen table. At this same table, there was always room for anyone who needed a meal, a cup of coffee, a word of encouragement or burned biscuits.Susan found happiness growing flowers, reading, sitting on the beach with her Grant Street Beach Bums, and bragging about her family. She was very proud of her Mayflower ancestry and that her family was among those who were whalers and had settled the Cape May-Townbank area.Susan is survived by her sisters, the other Parker Girls; Josephine (Beth) Parker, Carol Boyd (Robert) and Barbara Parker, her four children; Sarah Deshusses-Alvarez (Werner Tedesco), Francis Deshusses, III, Charles Breon (Jessica) and Kathleen Hollenback (Michael), six grandchildren; Rebecca McAnaney (Ken Blanda), Chelsea Alvarez, Joshua Alvarez, Corrinne Hollenback, Christian Alvarez, her best friend and granddaughter Natalie Hollenback and one great-grandson Kenneth Blanda, along with many nieces, nephews, and friends.Services will be held November 12, 2020 at Cape Island Baptist Church.
