Obituary

Susan E. Henshaw, 69, of Sudbury, passed away on Monday, March 6, 2017 at home, surrounded by her family. She fought a courageous four year battle with metastatic lung cancer. For 46 years, she was the devoted wife of Roy M. Henshaw. Born in Winchendon on February 25, 1948, and raised in Orange, Susan was the daughter of the late J. Allan Tepper and Eleanor (Vincent) Tepper and the youngest of their four children. Susan's siblings and close friends were the center of her school age years. She was a sweet and funny social butterfly, participating in dancing lessons, recitals, variety shows, football games as a baton majorette, and working in her parent's popular retail store, Tepper's. In 1964, her junior year in high school, she met Roy, her future husband and the love of her life. They were married in 1970, had two children together, and eventually settled in Sudbury, where they have lived since 1983. After high school, Susan got her certificate from Worcester City School of Nursing and then worked as an Operating Room RN for fifteen years before changing careers entirely and working alongside her husband Roy as the Firm Administrator at his professional accounting practice. She loved being by his side in life and at work, and her many gifts enhanced all areas of their lives. She was warm, loyal, accepting, and endlessly generous with her heart, mind, and energy. Susan loved her family and her friends above anything else. She was always excited to meet a friend for lunch and catch up for hours or to spend time with her sisters and brother. She also loved to bake, cheer for the Red Sox at Fenway and at many other major league parks with her son, take walks with her husband, and travel to spend time with her daughter, son in law, and grandson. She is remembered by her family as being happiest at the beach in St. Thomas where she was fortunate enough to vacation multiple times. In addition to her husband, Roy, she leaves behind her children, Elizabeth Musewicz, her husband John, and their son Justen of Exton, PA and David Henshaw of Rutland, her sisters, Barbara Vincent of NC and Mary Lou Deehan and her husband Tom of FL, her brother, Allan Tepper and his wife Sally of NC, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends. Family and friends are invited to attend visiting hours for Susan on Sunday, March 12th from 2 to 5 pm in the Dee Funeral Home, 27 Bedford Street, Concord Center. A celebration of her life will take place at the Red Apple Farm, 455 Highland Avenue, Phillipston, on Saturday, June 10th at 3 pm. Contributions in her memory may be made to Mass.
