Obituary of Susan Paul

Susan Paul (née Coyne) of Manchester passed away peacefully at home on March 21, 2024. She was born on November 3, 1947, the second of five siblings, and raised in Belmar. She graduated from St. Rose High School in 1965. Susan later returned to Belmar to raise her own family. She worked for a time at the Monmouth County Welfare Board and other jobs including Jersey Shore Medical Center and Irv’s Deli. Susan was a humble and selfless person and a woman of great faith who opened her heart and her home to many. She often dropped whatever she was doing to assist when someone needed help. In her retirement, she dedicated herself to caring for others and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. An avid sports fan who rooted passionately for all of her favorite teams, she was also known in certain circles as a bargain hunter extraordinaire who elevated the past time to such a level that it nearly became a sport of its own. She loved reading, watching movies and listening to music and never missed a chance to show off her moves on the dance floor. Susan was good company and great fun to be with, always ready to take a road trip or see a show. She was very loved and will be dearly missed. Susan is predeceased by her parents, John and Lucille Coyne, brother Michael, daughter-in-law Erin Paul and ex-husband James Paul. She is survived by siblings Robert Coyne and his wife Janet Cichocki, Carol Dunak and her partner Robert Calabrese, and Peter Coyne; her daughter Kerry and husband Jeffrey DeAngelis and their children Ashley and Anthony; her sons James and his children Anthony and Aidan, Joseph his partner Diana Herreros and their son Landin, and Jeffrey and his daughter Emilee; her long-time companion and dear friend Thomas Kokinchak, as well as her beloved nieces, cousins and many “unofficial” family members.
