Sue Sencer

Sue Sencer passed away on Saturday, May 17, 2014, at the Hospice House in Charlottesville. She was 85.

Born Suzanne Jean Handmaker in Chicago, Sue moved to New York City in 1952, where she studied at the Art Students League and pursued a career as a fashion illustrator. She married in 1956 and devoted herself to raising two children and her art.

Following her divorce in the late 1970s, Sue became a devotee of Swami Muktananda and continued to pursue her passion for painting. Sue moved to Charlottesville in 2004 and became a member of Bozart and Art Upstairs Galleries. She leaves a large body of exceptional work spanning many styles and media.

She is survived by her son, Nick of Portland, Oregon; daughter, Claudia, and her husband, Mark Farrington, of Charlottesville; and grandchildren, Aaron, Jessika, Cara, Seth, Megan, Isaac, Santana, and Lena.

A memorial service will be held in her honor on Wednesday, May 21, 2014, at 5:30 p.m. at the University of Virginia Hillel Brody Jewish Center, New Sanctuary, at 1824 University Circle.

If you are inclined, donations in her name may be made to the Hospice of the Piedmont.
