Susanne Boyer Obituary

Lifelong Grosse Pointe resident, Susanne "Susie" Boyer, 79, died peacefully in her sleep Monday, September 30, 2024.
Susie was born on June 30, 1945 to Elmer and Alice Schmidt and raised with her older brother Carl in Grosse Pointe Park. Susie was a graduate of Grosse Pointe High School and Wayne State University. Armed with a teaching certificate and an art major, Susie was hired by Detroit Public Schools where she spent her career educating young children. She and her former husband, Harold R. Boyer, Jr, lived in the City of Grosse Pointe for many years.
In addition to her students, Susie was devoted to her King Charles Cavaliers which she spoiled dearly. Susie was also a fashionista who always looked her best. She loved to entertain and put effort into setting a beautiful table which she claimed, "Guests will forgive you when your meal turns out poorly if you have set a nice table." Every week, Susie would have a fresh bouquet of flowers on her table, regardless if she was expecting company.
She enjoyed gardening, walking her dog(s), shopping, and playing bridge.
A memorial service will be held for friends and family at Grosse Pointe Memorial Church at 11:00 am on Saturday, October 19, 2024.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The Grosse Pointe Animal Adoption Society.
