Board of Directors

  As a part-time caregiver of her parents - one of whom suffers from dementia - Susan sees first hand the impact of loneliness and isolation on older adults. She believes that maintaining friendships and remaining socially involved are vital to the physical and mental well-being of all, especially as we get into our older adult years.

After many years working as a financial analyst in the insurance industry, Susan now enjoys working part-time in the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center gift shop, a nonprofit organization. Susan has been involved in several other nonprofit organizations, including serving for many years as Chair of the Outreach Committee of the “Friends of CCMC”. In addition, she has served for 12 years as a board member of the Union Street Tavern Trot, a nonprofit that raises funds for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.

Susan earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration/Accounting from the University of St. Joseph. 

Experiencing the profound changes to her late parents’ lives as they dealt with compromised physical health and dementia in their final years left Pat with a personal understanding and concern for the impact that social isolation can have on older adults and their caregivers. That, and a strong desire to help instill in our youth the value of working for the common good and an appreciation for the gifts their elders have to offer, makes the mission of For All Ages resonate with her. 

After her recent second retirement, the first after 33 years in retailing as a store manager and the second after 10 years in non-profit mission advancement, Pat is working part-time as a fundraising consultant. She is happy to now have time to give back to the Farmington Valley community where she has lived for 31 years, and looks forward to assisting For All Ages as it expands more broadly in Connecticut.

Pat earned a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from Rutgers University.
