Susan Liu of Tinton Falls passed away on Saturday, January 14, 2012 at the Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune at the age of 50. Her passing was quiet and peaceful with her loved ones at her bedside.
Susan was a very special person not only within her immediate family, but among her friends and colleagues. She was blessed with a powerful drive, determination and love of all she was involved with. She also was gifted with a caring personality that welcomed many people into her personal inner circle. As a result she gained in her life’s journey a host of good friends who will miss her positive contribution to everyone’s life.
Susan was born in Paterson, NJ where she spent her early years until the family moved to Pequannock, NJ. She graduated from Pequannock High School with the Class of 1979 going on to attend Montclair State College and Cook College at Rutgers University where she graduated with a Bachelors degree in Natural Resource Management in 1983.
Her love of the outdoors and nature led her to a position in the parks system at Stokes State Forest. Susan moved on to work for the Monmouth County Park System where she has been employed for 25 years most recently as the Assistant Superintendent of Recreation. Susan also found time to work at J.C. Penney on evenings and weekends.
In her tenure with the parks, she was instrumental in the development of some of the Park System's most successful programs and events. She played a key role in the birth of the cultural arts programs as well as serving as the entertainment chair for the Monmouth County Fair. Susan also spearheaded the growth of programs at Thompson Park's Creative Arts Center, the Therapeutic Horseback Riding program, the County's Urban Recreation Initiative, and Environmental Education outreach. She was a tireless and inspirational leader, always looking out for the best interests of her staff and the public, often putting in extra hours to do whatever it took to get the job done.
Susan loved animals especially her dog Asia which she adopted from a local shelter. Her many interests included dance, arts and theater. She volunteered her time to work as a production assistant, wardrobe specialist and planner in fashion and theater events.
Surviving to remember this very special daughter are her parents Ah Fong and Man Hing Liu of Wayne; her loving and dedicated brother Robert Liu, his wife Suzanne and niece Faith of Ringwood.
