Susan Antoinette Gutowski Gorman age 50 of Dingman’s Ferry, formerly of Wayne, died Monday, October 25, 2010.

She was born in New York City, having lived in Wayne for forty years before moving to Dingman’s Ferry in 2000; she graduated from Wayne Hills High School, Wayne with the Class of 1978.

Susan worked for AIM Tank Services, Wayne and most recently worked for Century 21 Smith Realty in Lords Valley as a realtor.  She was a member of: Kiwanis of Delaware Valley - where she served as treasurer and received a great deal of personal satisfaction fundraising on behalf of their special causes, the American Cancer Society, Pike Wayne Assoc. of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors.  She was also a member of the Wayne Rec. Women’s Softball League for over twenty years. She loved feeding the deer and bear at home, she loved her job in the real estate market, so much so that she made the Million Dollar Club at Wilkins and Associates Real Estate.  

She is best described as a person with a zest for life with an inner strength, and a love for family and friends.  She met the love of her life, Frank Gorman, through Frank’s sister Terri.  Their first date, which was almost their last as Frank wore white socks and black shoes, was to Portobello’s Restaurant, Oakland.  Frank proposed to Susan and they married on March 6, 1999.  They honeymooned in Antigua and have enjoyed eleven years of loving and devoted marriage. They were a truly perfectly paired couple who enjoyed each other immensely. Their marriage was made stronger by Frank’s willingness to say “yes dear”.

She was the loving wife of Frank Frederick Gorman; much loved daughter of William and Winifred Gutowski of Wayne; loving sister of Bernadette Solari and her husband Joseph of Wayne; adored daughter-in-law of Dorothy Gorman of Parrish, FL  and the late Frank Frederick Gorman, Sr.; devoted sister- in-law of Donna Gorman of Parrish, FL and Terri Heidt and her husband Ray of Oak Ridge; much loved niece of George and Anne Gutowski of Farmingdale, NY, and Cheryl and the late George Klein of Panama; cherished aunt of William Solari, Joseph Solari III, Ray Heidt and Bradley Heidt; loved niece of Charles Gutowski. Susan and Frank’s cats were their children and the joy of their lives.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to Atlantic Home Care & Hospice, 33 Bleeker St., Millburn, NJ 07041 would be appreciated.

The family would like to send a warm thanks to the 5th floor neuro science unit and the hospice workers of the Overlook Hospital in Summit NJ for their care and compassion during Susan’s time there; and also the Newton Memorial Cancer Center doctors and staff for all of their love and support over the years she was there, because of their constant efforts she was able to be with us longer.

In closing let us all remember Susan and when things are difficult, try to live by her favorite quote: “Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and NEVER regret anything that made you smile…Life may not be the part we hoped for, but while we’re here, we should DANCE…”
