We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Susan Elaine Geifman (Yehudith bat Reb Herschel).

After attending the University of Iowa, Susan married Howard, and together they moved west to build a loving family. In 1969, a transfer with Howard's company, Lucky Stores, brought them to California.

Ever committed to personal growth and helping others, Susan studied at the John F. Kennedy School in Orinda to pursue a Master's in Career Development.

Susan's final years were marked by great difficulty, but we take comfort in knowing she now rests in peace. Her memory will forever be a blessing to all who knew and loved her. May her legacy of kindness, wisdom, and inspiration continue to shine in our hearts.

Donations in Susan's memory can be sent to Chabad of Contra Costa (https://www.jewishcontracosta.com/templates/donate_cdo/aid/4970020/jewish/Donate.htm) or Temple Isaiah (https://temple-isaiah.org/about/donate).
