Susan Zarovsky Griffin

Susan Griffin, 75, of Atlanta, GA passed away on January 9, 2021, with her daughters at her side.

Susan received her Bachelor’s Degree of English at the University of Alabama and her Master’s of Education at Georgia State University. She taught for 30 years for the Atlanta Public School System at Northside High School and North Atlanta High school, where she was adored by her students.

Susan enjoyed reading trashy romance novels, watching Hallmark movies, and being an avid fan girl of Tom Selleck, but the thing that gave her the most joy was spending time with her family and friends. She cherished each of her loved ones, and laughter always ensued when she was with them. The apple of Susan’s eye was her only grand daughter, Emma. She was absolutely over the moon when Emma was born, and she was proud to be her Grammy Susan.

Susan is predeceased by her parents, Leonard and Rona Zarovsky, her sister Shelley Levin, and her husband, J. Richard Griffin. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Leslie and Glen Severin, daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter, Kelly, Rick, and Emma Casillas, and her sister and brother -in-law Mindy and Howard Kaplan.
