After graduation from college, Susan and her new husband Gordon spent the next two years in Germany where he was serving in the US Army. During his time off they were able to spend time traveling throughout Europe. While there, they had their first child. After his enlistment ended, Gordon and Susan returned home to run Ingaldsby Farm in West Boxford, originally started by his mother Rosamond in 1934. While Gordon was farming the land, Susan kept the books and started a bakery that is currently being run by Tom and Sheila Price at Ingaldsby.

Susan had a great love for the town of Boxford and helped on various Boxford organizations including, at the local schools and the Ingalls Memorial – Boxford Document Center.

Susan and Gordon had many interests, whether it was socializing with friends over coffee, exploring the islands of Casco Bay on their boat or skiing with the grandchildren in North Conway.

She will be remembered most for the special interest she took in her children and grandchildren’s lives; taking them along on trips, attending school activities, discussing our interests and always being there when needed.
