Sad news

Last week we lost our colleague Susan Ables.

Susan’s official position was Administrative Assistant at the ASU Art Museum, but there is no title that could accurately indicate how much she was responsible for here, how many lives she brightened with her daily acts of kindness, or how important she is, to us and to the community.

Below is a note from our director, Gordon Knox, on Susan’s passing.

Dear friends,

It is with great sorrow that I write to let you know that Susan Ables passed away last Friday. We will miss Susan so very much. It will take days and even weeks for the loss to sink in, and only slowly will we find ourselves back, together and moving forward. We can carry this loss and remember and honor beloved Susan; and above all, allow her heart, her values and her wonderful humor to become an on-going part of all of us – individually and collectively. We are deeply fortunate to have her in our lives; what a wonderful gift her presence is.

We will stay in touch as plans develop for a memorial service.

with sorrow,

Gordon
