Suzanne (Pare) Kimel CLAREMONT — Suzanne Aline Marie (Pare) Kimel passed away on May 22, 2021, after a brief illness. Born in Thetford Mines, Quebec, Canada, on Sept. 24, 1947, she moved to Massachusetts as a girl and later met and married George Kimel. For years, they owned and operated The Beanery restaurant in Holyoke. Eventually, they moved to Claremont, New Hampshire. Suz held various jobs but enjoyed her longtime position as a cashier at Market Basket the most. After George died in 2010, she moved to Williamson, New York, to be with her daughter. Her final job was her favorite, as a bus monitor for the Williamson Central School District. Bus 3 with Dan was her favorite assignment. Suz has a very full rainbow bridge to cross, after a lifetime love of animals. She will also be remembered for her green thumb and love of nature, her cooking and how she loved her family. She is survived by her son, Steven and wife Karen; her daughter, Linda and partner Rich Mendoza; granddaughters, Lorelai and Abbygail; and nephew, Michael Pare and fiancée Lori. A celebration of life will be held July 3, 2021, 11 a.m. at B. Forman Park in Pultneyville, New York. In lieu of flowers, donations will be accepted on that day for a memorial to honor Sue’s work for the children of Williamson.
