Audrey (Suvalle) Shuman passed away peacefully at the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers on June 25, 2023 at the age of 89.

Beloved wife of the late Alan Shuman.  Devoted mother of Jill Shuman (Edward Carver) and Amy Shuman.  Cherished Nana of Emily Feil.   Sister of the late Marilyn Suvalle.  Sister-in-law of the late Robert and Marcia Shuman and Arthur Shuman and his late wife Nancy.   Also survived by six loving nieces and nephews and many long-time friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

Aud grew up in Boston and proudly graduated from Girls’ Latin School in 1950 and then from UMass, where she met Alan, the love of her life.  While raising their two daughters, Aud returned to school for a master’s in Education.  Thus began her new adventure as a second-grade teacher at Solomon Schechter Day School, where she worked for more than 30 years.  Following her retirement, she remained busy with tutoring, educational travel, cooking, offering sage advice to those who asked (or didn’t!), book groups, and mahjong.

Graveside services at noon  on Thursday, June 29 at Temple Emeth Memorial Park, West Roxbury.  In lieu of shiva, please join us following the service for a celebratory lunch at the Marriott Hotel in Newton.  Per Aud’s instructions: “no mourning allowed!”  Friends and family are also invited to visit with Jill and Ed at their home in Reading from 7-9 PM on Friday.

Remembrances can be directed to Schechter Boston or to Bailey’s Team for Autism.
