Susan J. Horsman, 67, of Hermitage passed away peacefully early Friday morning, January 6, 2023, at her residence.

Suzie was born January 10, 1955, in Sharon, a daughter of Raymond N. and Ruth Jean (Richards) Horsman.  During her younger years, she enrolled in special education courses at Hickory Elementary School, and later was a daily participant in the ARC of Mercer Co. workshops for many years. She loved attending the annual ARC summer picnic at the Mahaney Camp Grounds.

Horsman; and a sister, Sandy Knight (Leonard), all of Hermitage; an aunt, Paula Priester, West Middlesex; two nephews, Cory Tonks (Cathy), Chardon, OH, and Jonathon Horsman (Adrianna), Brookfield; four great-nieces, Emily, Elizabeth, Julianna and Lilly; a great-nephew, Ethan; and three cousins, Michael Herwig, and Bill and Terry Richards.
