Obituary: Susan Levine Opin

Susan Levine Opin, 81, beloved wife of Dr. Perry Opin, passed away on Jan. 20.

Susan was born in Boston, Mass., daughter of the late Herman and Rose Levine.

Susan will be greatly missed by Perry, her husband of 56 years, and her loving sons, Eric Opin (Wendy Hofbauer), Dr. Gary Opin and her devoted grandchildren, Adam and Lauren Opin, her brother, Dr. Michael Levine and sisters-in-law, Esther Levine and Enid Opin Rieder. “Aunt Susan” was loved by many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews.

A graduate of Boston University, where she met Perry, all will miss Susan’s wit and superb joke-telling abilities. She taught speech pathology and English as a Second Language to recent immigrants. Susan’s one great love was Perry, their children and grandchildren.
