friends. In addition to
being a brilliant writer and
incredible mother, Sue
was an arbiter of taste and
beauty, a fantastic chef,
baker and hostess extraor-
dinaire. Every year, around
the winter holidays, she
transformed the kitchen
into her own personal
cookie factory, making
and sending out hundreds
of handmade gourmet
creations to friends, col-
leagues and family around
the world. You knew Sue
loved you if you were on
“the cookie list.” She was
an avid gardener, and her
love will continue to blos-
som through the beautiful
peonies and daffodils she
tenderly nurtured around
her home.
Sue was a brilliant, hilar-
ious, caring and wonderful
woman, and a certified
tough broad who suffered
no fools and flew through
every crossword she came
across with ease.
She is survived by her
husband, Mark Shwayder;
her daughter, Arden
Shwayder; Arden’s fiancé,
Jamie Kaye-Phillips; her
brother and sister-in-law,
John Levytsky and Susan
Moore Levytsky.
She was preceded in
death by her parents, Olga
and Bohdan Levytsky.
Interment was at
Beth El Memorial Park.
