Ms. Susanna Percival

Obituary Susanna was born on July 23, 1944 in St. John’s, Antigua to Rebecca Percival and Claudius Pelle. She moved to her mother’s native land of St. Kitts as a child and lived there into adulthood. As a young woman, she lived in the US Virgins between 1964 to 1970 before returning to St. Kitts. She later migrated to the United States in 1990 and lived in New York, New Jersey, and finally Maryland where she lived until her passing. Susanna always loved to challenge her mind. There was no secondary education available when she was growing up, but she never lost her desire for learning. She loved to read and was particularly interested in world history. Upon relocating to the US, she obtained her High School Diploma. She also earned diplomas in Child Day Care and obtained certifications in Early Childhood Education. Susanna has worked as a preschool teacher and ran her own children's day care. Susanna not only valued education for herself, but also for her children and grandchildren. She insisted that they focus on their education. She stayed involved both at home and with the school. Every teacher knew that they could approach her and discuss how her children were doing. She did not wait to go to the school to speak to a teacher. If she saw one of her kid’s teachers in a store, walking on the street, in the bank, or wherever, she asked them about their progress. She was always interested in both academics and behavior. She insisted that education will take you far and “manners will take you around the world.” As a devoted Christian, Susanna connected to a church wherever she lived. While living in St. Kitts, she attended the Mount Carmel Baptist Church. Not only did she make Mount Carmel her home church but she also ensured that the church nurtured her children in the things of God. She was a proud and active member of the Eastchester Church of God, Bronx, NY. Upon moving to New Jersey, she attended Maplewood Bible Chapel, Maplewood NJ. In 2006, after moving to Maryland, she joined the First Baptist Church of Glenarden. There, she was actively involved in the Tract Ministry, Agape Senior Ministry, and was a graduate of the Divine Discipleship for Sisters Ministry. Susanna loved keeping in touch with family and friends. If she has your number, you are likely to receive a call from her. She embraced everyone that she met. She treated the friends of her children and grandchildren like they were of her own. She helped to raise the children of other family members and friends. Susanna was very intentional about broadening her circle of influence by showing love to everyone she met. Her legacy continues to live on in everyone who has experienced her kind, compassion, loving, and nurturing spirit.
