It is with a heavy heart that we have learned of the passing of Susan Epstein, Usher at the Wang for many years. She passed on Saturday, February 22, 2025.

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Susan “Susie Q, Mama Sue, Geegee” Epstein of Canton on February 22, 2025. A beloved late wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, friend, family member and multi-talented individual. Susan lived a life full of passion, creativity, and joy, touching the hearts of all who had the privilege to know her.

Susan was no doubt the “matriarch” of her whole family. She was deeply proud of all her family who were the light of her life. Her love for them knew no bounds, and they brought her endless happiness and pride.  Beloved wife of late Marshall Epstein. Dear daughter of the late Benjamin Gross and Mildred Shapiro. Devoted mother of Hayley Lopes and her husband Ted, Brett Epstein and his wife Alexandra, Rayna Carbone and her husband Christopher. Dear Geegee of Aidan, Micaela and Benjamin Lopes, Devin and Ciara Epstein, and Chanyn and Maddox Carbone. Devoted sister of Bennaye Gross Pardo and late Marvin Gross. Aunt of Nicole Pardo. Lastly, best dog-mom to Sophie. Her family filled her heart with happiness and their laughter and accomplishments were constant sources of gratification for her.

Susan was a loving and devoted wife to the late Marshall Epstein for almost 50 years who despite faced the challenge of being a paraplegic in a wheelchair from an unforeseen accident, was cared for with grace and unwavering commitment. Her strength and love provided him with comfort and support throughout their years together.

A social butterfly at heart, Susan had a gift for bringing people together. She thrived in the company of friends, always ready to share a laugh, offer support, and celebrate the good times. Her infectious energy-spunky, funny, strong, stubborn as well as an abundance of kindness will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to experience it.

Susan had a wide range of interests that brought happiness and fulfillment to her life. Her pride was being the best hairdresser, where she brought beauty to the world, one hairstyle at a time. A true artist with success, she not only created amazing looks, but also formed everlasting connections with those she served. Susan also had an enduring love for dancing in which her rhythm was always on point as well as for the theaters. She devoted many years working at multiple venues in Boston whether it was concerts, plays, and/or musicals.
