Susan Penelope Bates Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Susan Penelope Bates of Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, who passed away on August 18, 2025, at the age of 79, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Susan Penelope Bates to pay them a last tribute.

Though Susan may no longer walk beside us, her memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Susan touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In her absence, her spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, Barbara Bates (Snedeker) and Frederick Bates; and her brother Stephen Bates.
