Susan Goodwin's Obituary
Susan Goodwin (Duggan) passed away surrounded by what she loved most- her loud, loving and large family. After a 12 year courageous and strong battle against Parkinson's Disease, she finally succumbed to the side effects of this horrible disease.
What we will remember most about this awesome camera toting wife, daughter, sister, mother, niece, aunt and friend, is her tremendous love and kindness. And her Whoopie pies.
An amazing and accomplished artist whose medium was continually evolving and developing along the creative cutting edge, her art was sold in many places on the Seacoast and can be found in homes and businesses around the country. Something she found great happiness in, was passing this love of developing and creating to her grandchildren in time spent "arting" together. Her grandchildren Maddie Stella, Caleb Holt-Fitzgerald, Olivia Holt, Cameren Holt, Averi Holt, Joshua "Charlie" Holt, Jr, and Theodore Holt, ALL had a very special relationship with their Nini. She enjoyed every minute with them and every hug she got.
She is someone who was never afraid to try new things, from her time growing up in Elwyn Park convincing her parents to build her a dark room, riding a motorcycle, and graduating a year early, to moving to Seattle after graduation. She enjoyed the fond and sometimes crazy memories growing up as the younger sister of Edward Duggan and Deborah Duggan, and the older sister of Anne Sorrenty and Frank Duggan.
She got her dogged determination from her father Edward Duggan, deceased, and her amazingly large, kind and compassionate heart from her mother Dorothy Duggan. Her brothers and sisters still remember how she convinced them to take her cat camping for a week.
A great cook and baker, we're not sure if she coined the phrase "food is love", but she was a fan of the term none the less. Never more so than when she was surrounded at family events by her nieces and nephews, and their children, each whom had a special place in her heart.
Along the way she managed to raise three sons and a step son, into strong and caring men who are going to miss her loving wisdom, guidance and friendship. Joshua Holt Sr., Jeremiah "JJ" Holt, Zac Holt and Nick Goodwin, all meant the world to her, and her to them. From broken wooden spoons to teaching them to drive to listening and giving sage life advice; she was an amazing mother whose lessons will continue to live on.
After raising all boys, she was overjoyed to add three daughters to her life. Kim, Carly, and Rebecca all shared with her unique relationships that held a common bond: Love. They will miss her greatly, and she will always be a part of them.
The last half of her life was immediately and forever changed when she met Brian Goodwin. From their first date on York Beach, she found in Brian a perfect partner who was willing to share in her adventures, and they built an amazing life filled with family, fun and love. From their wedding in San Francisco, their time on Cape Cod, and travel to Italy, France and Germany, as well as their time as business owners, along with their time boating and spent with family; Brian became her everything, and she his. Papa Brian should be promoted to Sainthood for his caring, compassion and plentiful love during her long battle with Parkinson's.
According to her wishes, a celebration of Sue's life is being scheduled for later this summer. Please check back here for details.
