It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Susan Jessee on July 22, 2021, ending her battle against Glioblastoma brain cancer at the age of 63. Susan was born in San Francisco, CA on October 1, 1957 to Thomas and B Read Obituary
I am so saddened by our loss of Susan. Her glowing smile light up every room she entered. She was always ready to go out and have some fun with the girls! Cocktails, dinner or music she would be there dressed looking great and ready to go.
My sincere and heartfelt condolences to the Jessee and Littlefield family’s.
I was stunned and saddened at the news of Susan's passing. I send my condolences to her immediate and extended family who I met from time to time back in the early 2000's when i still lived in the bay area. Susan always had a beautiful smile and stunning blue eyes and welcomed me into her life.
I met Susan on a trip down to Puerto Vallarta that she had taken around 1999. She was so welcoming and sisterly to me. That was the start of our travels together and a solid friendship. We enjoyed many fun weekends together going out to eat, having a fun time and relaxing together. She taught me to be more bold and outgoing. We both had a zest for travels and getting away from the bay area.
We enjoyed vacations in Hawaii in 2000 and Paris France and Nice in August 2001, and met up with other friends along the way in our travels on that trip. She was my only friend who came out to visit me while I was living in Switzerland in 2003. I knew the area very well and showed her some amazing local sites in Interlaken and Lucerne. She was stunned with my knowledge of the area, where I was living and unbelievably happy to see me. She always wanted to keep on traveling.
I last saw her in May 2009 on a road trip back down to California from British Columbia where I still reside. She was able to meet my husband and we enjoyed a beautiful dinner together probably eating some cheesecake. Being busier with little family members we never really found time to meet up on my short visits after 2009. I believe she may have been able to see me at my parents house a few times before they moved to Southern California. We kept in touch via email and she saw my little one growing up.
Susan was always smiling, always happy and laughing.. Her laugh and positive attitude was always contagious..
Our memories together will never fade nor the relationships and mutual friendships she gave me as a result of our friendship. She and her family will always be in my thoughts.
How sad to lose someone as special, as young as Susan -
I am deeply sorry for everyone in your extended family. I can write no words to lessen the pain you feel. My prayers are yours, as I hold Barbara, Tom, Cathy, Bob, Chris and Heather close to my heart.
Cathy and I became close friends through work many years ago. The 1st time I met Susan with Cathy it felt as if Susan and I had also known each other for years. Susan had a welcoming smile that shone brightly. The twinkle in her eye, her warm laugh, her quick sense of humor made her unforgettable.
As an only child myself, I envied friends with siblings. Somehow Susan and Cathy showed me that wonderful bond of sisterhood in its most beautiful manifestation. Even when competing with each other during conversation, the love these sisters shared was a joy to see. Susan will be dearly missed by many.
May the love and support of family and friends lighten the heavy burden of loss and grief.
With love,
Michele Terzian Munda
I'll never forget the first time I saw Susan. It was 40 years ago when I walked in the door at Visa for a job interview in the Traveller's Cheque Department. She smiled and gestured her head in the "yes" position as if to say "you've got this". That was the beginning of a very long and colorful friendship with this little lady. She was always fun, jovial with laughter and up for a good time. It's difficult to accept her gorgeous life circle has come to a full close. I'm so glad she lived her life with so much joy. Godspeed Susan.
Your friend of 40 years,

To the Jessee and Littlefield famalies. I am so sad to hear about the passing of Susan. We met while working together at VISA and became friends as well as colleagues. Susan always had a smile and her laugh was infectious. No matter how bad your day was, just being around Susan lifted spirits and lightened hearts.
I am so sorry that we lost touch over the years, but I thought of her often and will never forget her as a dear friend.
