Dear Lafayette Community,

It is with great sadness that I share with all of you news of the

death of Susan Leedom, our Director of Nursing at Holy Redeemer

Lafayette. Sue passed away on Thursday evening, June 21, 2018,

after a battle with cancer. Those of us who have been fortunate

enough to know and work with Sue have lost a dear friend and in-

spiring leader.

Susan Leedom

September 14th, 1959-June 21, 2018

No words can adequately express our sadness at Sue's death. Sue

joined the Holy Redeemer Family as a RN Team Leader and Nurse

Manager at St. Joseph's Manor. Over the years she was promoted

and has most recently been serving as Director of Nursing at the

Lafayette. I ask that we all honor her memory by dedicating our-

selves to continue the work and service she loved so much.

Sue always had a joyful heart and spirit. Let's remember Sue each

time with a smile upon our faces.
