About Susanna “Susy” Prinzo
Susanna “Susy” Prinzo was 48 years old when she was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. A healthy and fit wife, mother of three, and successful businesswoman, Susy had no family history of colon cancer. After five years of living with the disease, Susy passed away in April 2013, a month before her 53rd birthday.
“Susy was a role model to her family and friends alike: she was forgiving, empathetic, kind and generous. Despite the many challenges, pain and fear that cancer brought to her life, rather than complaining or carrying bitterness and anger, Mom taught us to trust, have faith, to love and support one another, and to appreciate the simple pleasures.”
“Spending time with Susy was like coming home; she made you feel comfortable and cared for.”
“She had a wonderful silly side and sense of humor, and an easy, bubbly laugh.”
