Susanne Gherardi, 63, of Hillsdale, passed away on April 5, 2022 at Fairview Hospital in Great Barrington. She was born on July 6, 1958 to the late Carl H. And Dorothy (Delanoy) Loch. She grew up in New Jersey and Pennsylvania where she met and married the love of her life for the past 40 years, John Gherardi.

After they married they relocated to Chicago, before moving to Mt. Vernon, NY where she and John owned and operated Gherardi Greenhouses. Susanne loved chatting with all their customers. In 1996 they became full time residents of Hillsdale, where she raised their four children. Susanne was reluctant at first to live upstate, but as time passed, she grew to love the area, the animals (especially her cats) and the people. She made friends with everyone.

Susanne is survived by her loving husband John Gherardi. Her four devoted children, John Gherardi, Joseph Gherardi, Jessica Taylor (Paul), and George Gherardi. Three adoring grandchildren that were her life, Leanna Gherardi, Madison and Mackenzie Taylor.
