Susan Ann (Stocum) Dick of Riverside, PA passed away peacefully into the
hands of her Lord and Savior in the presence of her family at the Geisinger
Medical Center in Danville, PA on Sunday January 10, 2021 after battling the
coronavirus.
Sue was born June 1, 1946 in Jersey Shore, PA to Leon Leroy and Sigrid Anna
(Wayrynyn) Stocum.
She was a 1964 graduate of Jersey Shore High School and a 1967 graduate of
the Williamsport School of Nursing. She worked as an RN at Williamsport
Hospital, where she met and married Francis Joseph Dick in 1969. She went
on to work at Geisinger Medical Center, Gold Star Nursing Home, Grandview
Nursing Home, and later Maria Joseph Manor, Mansion Nursing Home, and the
Emmanuel Center for Nursing and Rehab in Danville, PA. She retired from
nursing in 2011.
Sue was active in her community, playing flute with the American Legion
Band, later the Danville Community Band, since 1983. She served as band
historian. She greatly enjoyed traveling with the band and connecting with
others through music, having visited Germany four times on band exchanges
and hosting musicians from Germany three times. She was a member of the
Danville Kiwanis Club, where she served as secretary. She was a longtime
member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Danville, where she served as a CCD

being ones of inspirational courage.
