Subject: RE: Obit: Susy McAleer - Seattle folk singer 11/2011
Barbara just got a phone call about an hour ago from Nancy Quensé. Nancy said that Jean Smith had just called her and told her of Susy's passing. Just as Barbara told me, I was in the process of opening Mudcat, and here was this thread.

Susy was a lovely person with a beautiful voice, a headful of songs, and a real knack for singing them. She was one of the original members of the Seattle Song Circle. We haven't seen her for some time. This is sad news.

I just remembered that there is a picture here on Mudcat of a number of people who gathered together some years ago for the scattering of John Dwyer's ashes, and Susy is among them. And sitting next to her is John Ross who, also, is no longer with us.

Edmonds Ferry.   And scroll down for more photos of "the usual suspects." Second photo from the bottom is another of Susy, with Stewart.
