In Memoriam: Suzanne Noli, age 62, died peacefully on August 13, 2022 surrounded by her adoring family. Beloved daughter of the late Mary and Robert Noli, loving sister to Robert, Carol (Della Ratta) and Mary (Maloney), loving sister-in-law to Denise Noli, Ralph Della Ratta and James Maloney. Dear Aunt to Christine Tessar, Caroline Della Ratta, Nick Della Ratta, Kelly Maloney, Christopher Maloney, Kieran Maloney, and Erin Maloney. Dear friend to many.
Suzanne, who loved life, adventure, exercising, and the beach was raised in Sayville, Long Island. After graduating from the School of Visual Arts in 1984 Suzanne’s creative talents led her to a career first in publishing as a designer of book covers for G.P.Putnam’s Sons, Warner Books and Harper Collins, followed by a career in magazine design. True to her passion she began magazine design at American Health for Women. Suzanne served as Art Director for O (Oprah Magazine); Creative Director for Fitness Magazine and most recently Design Director of Veranda Magazine. Throughout her career, Suzanne freelanced at Women's Health, Lucky Magazine, Prevention Magazine, and Brides Magazine. Everywhere she worked Suzanne made lifelong friends.
Suzanne was down to earth, fun loving, and devoted to her family. Perhaps she is most remembered for her ability to connect with her nieces, nephews, and granddaughters. She was known as ‘Aunt Sue’ and ‘Sue Sue’ to them and leaves an indescribable impact.
She will be deeply missed by all whose lives she touched.
In lieu of flowers, please donate a pint of blood in her honor. Suzanne had recently began educating family and friends about the tremendous blood shortage.
