Susan Batch Wolf

Susan Batch Wolf, 82, of Rhinebeck, NY passed away at home peacefully on July 11, 2025 with her devoted husband, Harvey Wolf by her side.

Born in the Bronx on March 28, 1943, she was the daughter of the late Francis and Susan Lavery. 

For nearly fifty years, prior to moving to Rhinebeck, Susan and Harvey made their home in Huntington, NY in the close-knit neighborhood of Wincoma on the shores of the Long Island Sound. In 1989, they were married at sea on the Thomas Jefferson paddle boat.

Susan graduated from the College of New Rochelle. She found fulfillment in a career in Sales, representing Gund plush animals and at Long Island Newsday, selling advertising to local businesses. Her honesty, captivating presentation style and flair for writing enabled her to achieve great success and make many friendships along the way.  

With a warm and open heart and bright creative spirit, Susan found joy in hosting friends and family, travelling, writing poetry, decorating her home and swimming.

In addition to her husband Harvey, Susan is survived by her brother, James Lavery; her children Ted Batch (Oh), Christina Batch Lee (George) and Colin Batch; step-daughter Ali Bovis (Jason) and beloved grandchildren Mattie, Jack, William, Faye, Donovan and Vincent.
