Susan E. Atherton, 76, of Lititz, passed away on Saturday, April 24, 2021, at Lancaster General Hospital. Born in Port Chester, NY, she was the daughter of the late Frederic and Elizabeth (Pennock) Atherton.

Susie had a long career as a sales associate and assistant manager for both Waterford Crystal and Reed and Barton. She was also a selfless caretaker for her family and friends, always the first to step in to help a sick family member or pet. In her spare time, she loved gardening, cooking for her family, doing puzzles, and spending her summers with friends and family at Higgins Beach, Maine.

Family meant everything to Susie. She was a loving and devoted mother to her three children, Scott Oehrlein, husband of Molly, of Scarborough, ME; Frederic Oehrlein, husband of Justine, of Coatesville, PA; and Elizabeth Heim of Lancaster. Also surviving are her six wonderful grandchildren, Libby and Allison (Oehrlein), Kieran and Margaret (Heim), Anna and Otto (Oehrlein); and her beloved sister, Penny Wilson, wife of John of Sarasota, FL. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother John Atherton.

A memorial celebration will take place from 2 – 4 PM on Saturday, May 15, 2021, at the Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543. Flowers will be received, as Susie was a great lover of all flowers.
