Susan Elizabeth Pratt, 66

Susan Elizabeth Pratt, 66, passed away peacefully at UPMC Jameson Hospital on June 1, 2023, after a six-year battle with cancer.

She was born on October 22, 1956 in Ellwood City to the late Dominick and Elizabeth Pratt.  Susan graduated from Lincoln Jr.-Sr. High School in Ellwood City in 1974. She continued her education at Beaver County Community College, graduating in 1980 with an associate degree in medical laboratory technology. Suzy went on to work at Jameson Memorial Hospital from 1980 to 2019, retiring early due to her ongoing battle with cancer. Everyone in the hospital knew “Laboratory Suzy” would be there to answer the phone on night shift.

Suzy was an avid cook and baker. If you were in her presence, you did not go hungry. She ran the concession stand for the Western Pennsylvania Antique Tractor Pullers for over 15 years and currently served as the secretary of the organization. Her stuffed pizzelles and cookie trays were renowned and the favorites of many people. She was an avid Hosta gardener and collected different varieties of rare Hosta. She enjoyed cultivating and sharing them. Most of all, she enjoyed her granddaughters, who were the light of her life. She could be found watching all three play softball and watching Paige show livestock at the fair.

Susan is survived by her daughter, Jessica (Greg) Anderson and her three granddaughters, Paige, Jenna, and Natalie. She is also survived by her brother, Tim (Bonnie) Pratt of Ellwood City and her cousin Lynn (Jake) Armond whom she was very close with, who hosted Suzy and “the girls” to swim in the summer.

As per Susan’s wishes, there will be no services, instead the family will host a celebration of life at a later date.  Funeral arrangements were entrusted to the Joseph A. Tomon, Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory.
