Susan Connelly Obituary

Life-long resident Susan Connelly passed away on July 30th after a short battle with ALS.

Susie was born to Keg and Barbara Connelly on January 8, 1954. She was a 1971 graduate of Cheyenne Mountain High School, received a BA from Mount Holyoke College and an MA from UCCS. She retired last year after 27 years with the Pikes Peak Library District.

Susie is survived by her sisters Sharon Maxwell, Patricia Ludlam and Judy Connelly, nieces and nephews Katie Ludlam, Shari Lynn, Stacy and Stuart Maxwell, her aunt, Zoe Connelly, her Hubby and Connelly cousins and beloved Raleigh.

We'll all miss her goodness, wisdom, intelligence and scintillating sense of humor. God bless and thank you, Soo.

I worked with Sue at PPLD. She was a kind-hearted, sweet gal who would give you the shirt off her back. Her wit and smile will be truly missed by all who knew her. Rest peacefully, sweet Sue, in the arms of angels.

So sorry to hear this sad news about Susie. Enjoyed being her neighbor for the past several decades. I'll remember her keen intellect and great smile.
