Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Susan has lived in Kearny since 1973. She worked in environmental services, and as a housekeeping director for Servicemaster, caring for departments at Beth Israel Hospital in Newark and St. Joseph’s Hospital in Paterson. She enjoyed reading, usually taking in one book per day. She also liked spending time writing her memoirs. Susan was well known in town, and her delicious steak pies were the best anywhere, and were enjoyed by many. Susan cherished Friday nights spent with the Pink Ladies, and especially time spent with her loving grandchildren.
Susan was the beloved wife of the late Sonny McKeown; loving mother of Gerald McKeown and his wife Susan, Joanne McKeown and Thomas McKeown; treasured grandmother of Jean Marie, Kelly Campbell, Ian Stewart and Kieran; and dear sister of Tina Smith.
Susan was best known for her spontaneous cheekiness and wit. She will be dearly missed.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
