Susan Coffey

Age - 70

November 25, 2023

Susan passed away peacefully at home, on Thanksgiving, surrounded by family. Sue is survived by her daughters, Caitlin Coffey and Meaghan Serafin, her son Sean Coffey, her grandchildren, Kailey and Liam Serafin, her sister Mary Fowler and her nieces and nephews, Melissa Quinn, Jennifer and Christopher Loiselle, Joshua Fowler and Sabrina Lamay, Dave Coffey, and brother-in-law, Steve Coffey. She is pre-deceased by her mother, Phyllis Hart, her husband Michael Coffey, her beloved brother David Hart and her sister Kathy Loiselle. Sue led her life with an amazing amount of resilience and grace. Always the "multi-tasker", she artfully tackled and succeeded in her 45+ year career in the Insurance Industry; mastered becoming an amazing mom overnight to two step-children (even though she may have tried to eliminate them by waxing the wood stairs); lovingly mothered her sweet daughter Caitlin; effortlessly supported her husband during the many sales dinners, sales trips, golf outings and client dinners; a devoted friend who unselfishly attended plays, golf tournaments, trips to Mexico, Puerto Rico, Hilton Head, Vermont & Florida, and suffered through glass after glass of Pinot Grigio; skillfully taught tens of girl scouts how to cross-stich, sew, knit and excel and grow into fine young women; highly skilled at curating craft days and day trips to entertain kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews and neighborhood kids; and finally, her unrestrained talent to turn a 5 minute phone conversation into a 3 hour call and a lifelong friendship. Like all of us, Sue had her faults, but for some reason, she just wore them better than others. There is no pocket or season of life where Sue did not find a friend. Sue lived true to the lyrics of one of her favorite songs. "Makin' my connection as I enter the room Everybody's chillin' as I set up the groove Pumpin' up the volume with this brand new beat Everybody's dancin' and they're dancin' for me I'm your operator, you can call anytime I'll be your connection to the party line I'm comin' up so you better get this party started" Pink, Get This Party Started Calling hours are Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2023 from 9:30 - 11am at Curran Jones Funeral Home, 109 Main Street, West Springfield, followed by a Funeral Home Service at 11. The burial will follow in St. Thomas Cemetery. For online condolences, please visit www. curranjones. comShow more
