Susan Elizabeth Austin

May 27, 1967- March 29, 2020

Susan Elizabeth Austin, 52, passed away March 29, 2020 at home with loved ones.  Susan was born May 27, 1967 in Oyster Bay, Long Island, NY. Her parents, Eleanor Cristine Austin and Ernest Wilfred Austin, Jr. of Boonton, NJ, brought her home seven weeks after.

She graduated from Boonton High School in 1985. By continuing her education, she graduated from the Katherine Gibbs School with an Associate’s Degree. There she learned professional secretarial skills like taking dictation using steno, which led to several job opportunities.

Susan loved her family, as well as her pets and all animals. She enjoyed vacations with family to the Jersey shore and, like many Boontonites, enjoyed attending the annual Boonton Fireman’s Fair to see old friends and family.

Susan was a loving mother who gave the world to her children, always gave help to those in need, a fighter of all life’s trials and tribulations, and had a passionate spirit with a genuine heart. She made anyone she came into contact with laugh with her witty sense of humor. Never at a loss for words, she made friends easily. Often, she would turn strangers into friends with stories, humor, and motherly nature.

Susan is survived by her daughter Samantha Eleanor Kerlin, son Kyle Ernest Kerlin, and brother Ernest Wilfred Austin, III.

Services will be held in Boonton, NJ at a later date.

    She was a lovely lady that I had the pleasure to meet on several occasions. Each time she had a huge sense of humor that lit up a room. I’m so sorry for your loss Sammi & Kyle. Love you both, she will be missed.

    While it is always very hard to say good bye to a loved one, we must focus on where they are going. “He went before to prepare a place for each of us.” We will be together again in a perfect place. Our prayers and love are sent to the family.

    Sammi, Kyle, and Ernie,
    Please know that my thoughts are with you all during this time. I see the best of Susan in all of you. The way you love and support one another and the way you welcome others into your hearts with light and laughter. The times I spent with her, I saw a courageous, determined, feisty spirit and an eagerness to enjoy the world around her. I see all of those qualities in each of you and am so grateful I’ve been able to get to know you over the years. Please know my love is with you all and with Susan as she finds peace.
