Suzan Chatham Ruscella, 65, died Thursday, April 10, 2014 at her home from pulmonary fibrosis. She was born December 6, 1948 to Frank Chatham and Susan Wilkins in McKeesport, Pennsylvania.

Ruscella, her sister, Rhonda Chatham, sister-in-law, Linda Enciso, brother, Donald, daughter-in-law Joanne, dear friends and caregivers Ron and Diane Stetter and seven grandchildren. Her husband, Anthony (Tony) and her parents predeceased her.

Suzy spent much of her career as a real estate broker. She was a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Suzy was a member of Annunciation Catholic Church for the last 3 years.

She faced her illnesses head-on and refused to allow anyone to feel sorry for her. Her positive outlook through thick and thin was her backbone, especially, the last few months of her illness. Her courage and strength was unbelievable, even with personal disappointments.

Suzy was and avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan enjoying the games on TV, most times with friends. She especially admired her physicians and always wanted them to know how much they meant to her.

A memorial service will be held in Pennsylvania at a later date.

Arrangements are entrusted to DeGusipe Funeral Home & Crematory, 9001 N. Orlando Avenue, Maitland, Florida 32751. (407) 695-CARE(2273).
