Susan "Sue" Elizabeth Park Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Susan “Sue” Elizabeth Park, 64, of Chestertown, MD, passed away on December 21, 2021. Sue was predeceased by her parents, Robert C. Park and Marjorie McGinnes Park and her brother John R. Park. Sue spent much of her young life traveling the country with her family during her parents’ careers in the Army. She married her late husband, Robert “Bob” Hooey, and they lived on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and enjoyed time with their loyal dog, Wilson. Sue grew to be an avid reader and researcher, a self-born educator. She made lasting connections with every career shift, especially with her college students whom she mentored beyond their educational years. She was a kind person and a gift to all who connected with her as she had a unique way of always making the day calmer and brighter. Sue was an animal lover and connected with animals with the same compassion and advocacy as anyone who crossed her path. She was a natural healer, and her love of horses led her to experience more about their connection with humans. Over the years, Sue practiced in numerous therapeutic modalities and energy healing methods to support her varying interests in wellness. She spent her free time porch sitting, reading, writing, sewing, crafting, and working with the horses. She enjoyed Friday night dinners, swim class with friends and gathering with newfound family. Sue will be celebrated and missed by those she leaves behind; their greatest comfort knowing that her life was well-lived. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Interment will be private at Westminster Cemetery in Carlisle, PA.
