Susan L. Glose
Susan L. Glose, 77, of Macungie, died March 2, 2025, leaving behind a bag of magnetic bingo chips, 231 colored pencils, two bags of gummy bears, 11 pairs of reading glasses, and a multitude of other random items that would prove completely useless in any situation whatsoever.
She is survived by her daughter, Clairissa, whom she sarcastically referred to as “Mom”; her son-in-law, Ron; grandchildren, Elizabeth “Lizard Lips” and Timothy, “Pick” or “Big T” and his wife, Taylor, “Little t”; her brothers, Grant and Lee. Yes, you heard that correctly, her mother had an unusual sense of humor; and nieces and nephews, Katie, Andrew, Karlee, Kenny, Dana and Brandon; her grand-dogs Oswald and Tallulah, and last but not least, her beloved feline friend, Sylvester, who is now being spoiled by Lizard Lips and her kitty clan.
She was predeceased by her parents Elwood Follweiler and Lavinia Seabourne Follweiler; her sister Jane Weber; her niece Melissa Weber; her dearly departed cats Sid, Jack, Iggy, Oliver North aka Ollie, Puffy and Fluffy; a 1971 Buick Skylark; and her big toenails.
She graduated from William Allen High School, Allentown, where only three of her teachers took an early retirement after having her as a student.
She married her first husband shortly after her graduation from high school.
She was never a quitter and continued to try and try again.
She retired from the grueling world of retail after 37 years of service.
She started her career at Hess’s in china and crystal, later moving on to be a record buyer in the ’70s.
She returned to china and crystal when she joined the Macy’s team.
For the last decade or so before retirement, she worked at Pfaltzgraff, Calphalon and Marshalls, collecting enough pots and pans for the entire family and then some.
Through her career, she met a multitude of amazing people, many of whom became her dearest friends.
It is also worth mentioning, she was the crowned champion of Ms. Pac-Man in the Macy’s break room.
She enjoyed many, many things.
Among those were cats, gardening, cigarettes, exercising (just kidding), shopping, Lady Gaga, happy hour, sushi, bird watching, Words with Friends, peach rings, rainbows, decorating, cigarettes (did I mention those already?), Neil Diamond, sappy movies and above all, her family.
She had a two-martini limit.
Trust me, you don’t want to know what happens at three.
She enjoyed dancing and singing to all kinds of music, but one of her favorites to dance to was “Psycho Killer” by Talking Heads. Special shout-out to her daughter for introducing her to this fine group.
She was a renowned collector of many things, but china and crystal were her passion.
She had a great eye, impeccable taste, and was not afraid to adjust your mantle-or anything else, if it failed to meet her criteria. Susan had a champagne taste on a beer budget.
She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and played countless hours of video games with them, even though her character usually ended up spinning around endlessly in a corner and she couldn’t figure out how to adjust the camera to make it stop.
She was confident she had mastered the use of her cellphone, laptop, and remote control on her smart TV, only because she thought she was more technologically adept than her peers.
This was, in fact, a figment of her imagination. Her devices were definitely smarter.
She loved people and was fortunate to have many friends.
She lived life to the fullest and always had a smart a** comment for everything but was always willing to give the shirt off her back to a friend in need.
She died knowing that “Scent of a Woman” was the best movie ever, Brad Pitt was the hottest man on earth, and hot sauce can be added to absolutely any food.
