It is with sorrow and gratitude that we mark the passing of Helen Joanne "Susie" Pace of Pittsburgh, PA — sorrow at the loss, gratitude for the life.
A life is more than dates on a stone; here is a small portion of her story.
Memory has a way of softening time.

She is survived by her brothers, Joseph and Thomas Pace; her loving nieces and nephews, Thomas Pace, Jr., Daniel Pace, Samuel (Ginger Davis) Pace, David (Kelly) Pace, Joseph Pace, Michael Rusak, and Melissa Rusak; and her great-nieces, Annabella, Brooklyn, Hailey, and Emily and great-nephew, Christopher. She will be deeply missed by many dear friends and family.
She was preceded in death by her siblings, Samuel Pace and Lois Rusak; and by her parents, Joan and Samuel Pace.
