Nathalie “Nan” A. Sussman

Nathalie “Nan” A. Sussman (née Bloomberg), of Mashpee, Massachusetts, formerly of Leominster, passed away peacefully at home on June 6, 2025, at the age of 89.

Born on November 16, 1935, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Nan was the daughter of the late Ed and Jean Bloomberg.

Nan is lovingly remembered by her children, Andrea Sussman (Andrew Troop), Donald Sussman (Jessamy Taylor) and Deborah Hermon (Danny), and her adored grandchildren: Jenna Troop, Joshua Troop, Jordan Sussman, Quinn Sussman and Benjamin Hermon.

Nan earned her degree in education from Boston University and spent time teaching in public schools.

Nan was warm, smart and opinionated.  She loved getting to know people.  She could talk with anyone, learning their stories and sharing hers.

Her love of travel was inherited from her family’s business and became a defining feature of her life. She worked in numerous travel agencies before founding her own successful business in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Through her work and personal adventures, Nan explored the world and helped others do the same.

An avid reader, she delighted in recommendations from others and was always eager to share her latest favorites. Her intellectual and social engagement extended to the bridge table, where she was a competitive player and proudly achieved Gold Life Master status.

Nan found her greatest peace at the beach, where she could watch the waves for hours, drawing comfort and joy from the rhythm of the sea.

In her later years, Nan was surrounded by devoted caregivers who not only provided her with exceptional care but became an extended part of her family.
