Susan I. Nevi 1949-2021

She was born July 28, 1949, in Youngstown, to the late Sam and Mary Lou McDonald Nevi.

Susan was a longtime participant of Mahoning County Board of Developmental Disabilities, where she met many angels throughout the years. She attended Leonard Kirtz school from 1967 to 1970.

Susan was an Easter Seal Poster Child and worked at the nonprofit Meshel Masco Workshop for many years. She also participated with the Center at Javit Court and Turning Point.

She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Youngstown and spent 30 years going to the nursery with her mom. She loved comforting and caring for the infants and toddlers.

Susan’s favorite pastime was singing along with music. She adored Dean Martin.

Left to celebrate Susan’s memory are her sister-in-law, Carolyn (Piercy) Nevi; nephews, David Nevi, Douglas (Julie) Nevi, Jeffrey (Karen) Nevi; and niece, Kristen (Rob) Knapp. Susan was a great-aunt to Blake, Emily, Amanda, Cora and Leah Nevi, and Sylvan Knapp. She will also be missed by her caregivers, Lori Ruzzine and Deb Bouslough, who shared many laughs with Susan, as they understood her hearty sense of humor.

Susan was preceded in death by her brother, Raymond.

There will be a small service for immediate family on Saturday, May 15, 2021, at Greenhaven Memorial Gardens.

Memorial contributions may be made in Susan’s name to the MCBDD.
