Susan Heninger

Susan Heninger was a beloved teacher, performer, and friend to many. She influenced hundreds of private piano students, was active in many local music organizations, and served as organist at Watertown Moravian church. In 2006 Susan was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Near the end of her life she wrote: 

I’ve learned to cherish my friends daily, because changing times and locations may draw us apart at any time.  I now know that this is a natural part of life and letting go is as important as holding on… I’ve learned that things are terminal, but souls are not. I’ve learned to let go of a lot of things…and to celebrate God’s provision of others to heal me and fill the void. I’ve learned that life is an incredible adventure if I am aware of daily surprises. And finally, I’ve learned that attitude is everything, so today I turn 39 and 365 days…and my gains far exceed my losses. 

Susan is remembered for her passion of music and love for her Savior, Jesus Christ.
