Susan Orsino (née Lembo), age 98, of Pearl River, New York, passed away peacefully on May 5, 2026.
Born in New York City, Susan, known to all of us as Susie, was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who found her greatest joy in her family and friends. She will be remembered for being loving, caring, funny, and kind, and for the warmth she shared with those closest to her.
She was an active and beloved member of both the Pelham and Pearl River communities. She worked in the Pelham School District for over 25 years and, later in life, became a familiar and friendly face around Pearl River where she would frequently gather with friends.
She is survived by her son, John, and daughter-in-law, Annemarie; her grandsons, John and his wife, Angelica, and Michael and his wife, Jo-Ann; and her two great-grandchildren, Matteo and Valentina. Her family will remember her as a steady and loving presence whose legacy lives on through them.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Paul Orsino Sr. and her beloved son, Paul Orsino Jr.
Susie will be deeply missed and forever held in the hearts of her family and friends.
