Obituary for Susan R. Bryan (Reinhold)
Susan (Susie) Reinhold Bryan, 64, of Pennsburg, passed away Friday, February 16, 2024 at Pennsburg Manor. Born in Allentown, she was the beloved daughter of Valerie (Kleppinger) and the late Edwin Reinhold.
Susan dedicated her life to raising her family. Family was her greatest love and she cherished every moment she shared with them. She will be remembered for her signature dishes at holiday gatherings and family-famous lasagna. She was generous, kind, and caring to all who knew her and always wanted to help even if she had little to give. Her love for all animals began at a young age. She often fondly recalled the time she spent caring for horses during her teenage years and spoiled every pet that was lucky enough to be in her life. Susan also never left behind any injured wild animal and always knew who to call or what to do. Susie was deeply creative and will be remembered with a camera with her always. She loved crocheting and making blankets for her loved ones. Another creative joy of hers was jewelry making and metal-working. She leaves behind many hand-made books filled with her photographs, documenting her family’s milestones.
In addition to her mother, Valerie Reinhold, she will be missed dearly by her three children, Daniel Gillespie and wife, Katrina Forman, Alyssa Bryan and Jadian Bryan; three grandchildren, Cutler Reilly, Walter Gillespie and Karl Gillespie; siblings, Kathryn Anthony, Edwin Reinhold and Elizabeth Moerder; and her nieces and nephews.
Services will be private at this time.
Memorial contributions may be made in her memory to Logan’s Heroes, 9411 Kings Hwy, East Greenville, 18041.
