Mrs. Susan M. Toledo

Susan M. Toledo Loving Mother, Grandmother, Sister LOWELL--- Susan M. (Hand) Toledo passed away peacefully on October 30, 2021, following a brief illness. It is impossible to think of Susan without thinking of her love and dedication to her family. Susan was born in Lowell on February 27, 1963, a daughter of Daniel and Arlene (Newcomb) Hand. She attended Sacred Heart Grammar School and then the Greater Lowell Vocational School. Susan’s life was centered around caring for her 8 children and her beloved husband, Luis who passed away in 2016. Her children came first and everyone, including Luis Jr., Jennifer, Renee, Olga, Cory, Susan, Christopher, and Kelly, knew it. Her children labeled her “Susie Homemaker” as she was always obsessively cleaning their home. Sue was always in the kitchen, a fantastic baker and loved to bake and cook for her family and friends, always with a fresh cup of coffee in hand. Her contagious laughter will be long remembered as will her willingness to be there for anyone in need. She was the person you could call for anything and she would show up. When Susan had free time, she loved crocheting. As easily as motherhood came to Susan, being a grandmother was perhaps her favorite and most natural roll. Time spent with Gabriella, Luis III, Sophia, Ian, Jocelyn, Hailey, Landon, Max, Mila, Brody, and Alex was a blessing. Susan lived a life full of giving love, receiving love, and being present for those who were her friends and family. Susan leaves behind a legacy in her children and grandchildren and on her loving nieces, Katelyn and Nicole. The love she showed her family will carry on in each of them and help keep Susan’s spirit alive for generations to follow. Susan is survived by her 6 children, Luis Toledo Jr. and his fiancée Jeanette Pirkey, Jennifer Toledo, Renee Toledo and her fiancé Michael O’Connell, Olga Delage and her husband Damien Delage, Cory Toledo, and Susan Toledo. Susan was the mother of the late Christopher D. Toledo and Kelly A. Toledo. She also leaves her beloved grandchildren, Gabriella Toledo, Luis Toledo III, Sophia Toledo, Ian Pirkey, Jocelyn Pirkey, Hailey Bianchi, Landon Bianchi, Max Bianchi, Mila Delage, Brody Delage, and Alex Estien; her brother, Brian Hand, and two nieces, Katelyn Gaudette and Nicole Brule. At the family’s request private Funeral Services took place with a burial in Westlawn II Cemetery, Lowell. ARRANGEMENTS BY THE FAY McCABE FUNERAL DIRECTORS 978-459-9222 www.faymccabe.com
