Susan Gretchen Vomacka of Plymouth, MA, passed away peacefully after a stoic battle with cancer on
November 9, 2019, at the age of 65.

She leaves behind her son, Kyle V. Decker; her daughter, Caleigh A. Decker; her mother, Janice Vomacka;
her brothers Jim Vomacka (Boni Edwards) and Chris Vomacka (Julie Vomacka); and her sister Martha
Vomacka Geuss (Detlev Geuss). She is preceded in death by her father, George Vomacka.

Born in Utica, NY, Susan attended Shenendehowa High School, Clifton Park, NY (c.1972) and the
University of Saint Joseph, West Hartford, CT (c.1976). Susan was a devoted mother and worked
tirelessly in support of her children. After college, she began her 40 year career in Boston, MA, first at
the Harvard Medical School as Director of Administrative Services, Human Resources and most recently
at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute as Director, HRIS Integration & Operations.

In addition to spending time with her family and friends, Susan was an avid runner, loved working in her
garden, reading, and taking care of her horse Belle and Milly the Cockatiel. In earlier years, she enjoyed
singing with the MIT/Harvard’s Women’s Chorale.

Susan faced the disease with the utmost courage and determination, and throughout, remained
eternally optimistic and hopeful until the very end. Her family is forever grateful to her dear friends,
colleagues and medical team who supported Susan these past 12 months and the caring staff at the Pat
Roche Hospice House in Hingham, MA.
