Susan Ann Maley-Eisele, 67, of West Long Branch, passed in the comfort of her home on Thursday, February 12th. She put up an incredible and courageous six year fight against breast cancer, never letting it affect her spirit.
Susan was born in Point Pleasant and raised in Spring Lake. She attended St. Catharine’s Grammar School and St. Rose High School. Before receiving her Associate Degree from Monmouth College, Susan backpacked through 13 countries in Europe with her best friend. Susan was an amazing athlete growing up, swimming, playing softball, basketball, and volleyball, and she never missed an opportunity to tell her famous “hook shot” story or show off her epic swan dive.
Following college, she would work for Monmouth College, then became a realtor, and in 1990, married the love of her life, James. They welcomed their daughter, Adriana, in 1992 and raised her in West Long Branch. Susan had a very successful career as a realtor and mother. She enjoyed spending summer days at her in-laws home pool, referred to as her poolside office, and at Allenhurst Beach Club with her family and life-long friends. Susie Q loved to dance and sing, even though she was rarely in-tune. She always wore high heels, and she was the life of the party anywhere she went. Susan greeted everyone she knew with a warm embrace and the biggest smile, and her iconic laugh could be heard even in the loudest crowd.
Susan is predeceased by her sister Tracey Deacon, her mother Joan Ann Ceiciuch and her father Robert Francis Maley.
Susan is survived by her husband James Eisele; her daughter Adriana and son-in-law Marc Payson; her beloved granddaughter Skylar; her siblings Robyn and Terry McGrath, Mark Maley and Lauren McCaffery, Matthew and Linda Maley, Rick Deacon, Deborah and Vincent Fiore, Sherri Eisele and JoAnn Trezza; her cousin Lisa Boice; her mother-in-law and father-in-law Marie and John Eisele; her nieces and nephews Bridgette, Nikki and Mike, Remi and Justin, Conor, Emma, Lauren, Christopher, Jack, Coco, Jesse, Gianna, Ciara, Nicholas, and her great niece Sienna.
Visitation will be Thursday, February 19th from 4:00-8:00 PM at the Woolley-Boglioli Funeral Home, 10 Morrell Street, Long Branch NJ, 07740. A mass of Christian burial will be offered on Friday, February 20th at St. Michael’s RC Church, 800 Ocean Avenue, Long Branch.

40 plus years ago we met Sue and Jimmy on the beach in Palm Beach Shores, Singer Island Fl. We ended up at my cousin Susan's for her annual great Friday celebration party 2 days later and they were invited and there it all started with our friendships. All our pool parties from then on they were always included! We hit it off and our friendship started. He remodeled out bathroom, built our shower poolside, We had Mutual friends we never knew about from her St. Rose day. My Mom and Bill were always included and loved us all being together. partying.... We remember her riding her bike around the island in her skirt and high heels. Always the most beautiful smile and that laugh was the best!!! We will never forget her and will always be in our hearts. Our deepest sympathy to Jimmy, Adriana her husband and grand baby. May she rest in peace.

Dearest Jimmy, I am so sorry for your loss of Susan. When I met Sue when we worked at Monmouth College together and she instantly became my friend. I was privileged to have her as a bridesmaid in my wedding. Her beautiful smile and infectious laugh will be truly missed. As life moved on in our lives, we didn’t see each other often but when we did Sue didn’t miss a beat. May she be in a pain free ever-after now. All my love to you and everyone in Sue’s family.

I'm so sorry to hear of your passing. It's been a rough fight and you fought it with dignity. No more pain, just peace. Your smile lit up any room you entered. I can actually hear your laugh as I write this. Jimmy, Adriana a the rest of the family are in my thoughts. Until we meet again, rest easy cousin.

To share a memory about Sue would be impossible because there are so many more than just one. When you’ve known your best friend since you were 3 years old you hold a life time of memories, more than can fit in the space allotted. Susan’s laugh and effervescent personality stand out the most, as I'm sure it did for anyone who has ever known her. Rather than choose one memory, all I can do is list places, certain events and foods (yes, foods) that will forever remind me of Susan. Many of which some of us share as well. So here it goes: Brown Ave (everything about it), playing Giant in the Cave and plans (giving away where the plan was hidden when I was captured!), Peterson’s and the firefly in your ice cream cone, Lemonade stands (you always ran inside when a customer came over to our stand), the White Bridge, the tunnel at So. End, our weekend at Bucknell and the apple, eating those disgusting chocolate covered cherries (still we managed to eat the whole box), dancing at the Stone Pony, The Shakes, the 400 house and the psycho house across wreck pond, daisies, you singing the song “Windy” by the Associations , talking on our landline phones and being able to see each other through our windows and waving to each other (the original video calls), baseball games on “the field”, shooting hoops in your driveway, the Ritz…….this list can go on forever, but I’ll stop here (too many to cover). Susan cannot possibly be forgotten because there is so much of her in our hearts and our thoughts. She is everywhere. So many things will forever keep her here with us. I can't say it better than John Lennon and Paul McCartney:
“Though I know I’ll never lose affection for people and things that went before, I know I’ll often think about them. In My Life, I love you more.
Rest in Peace my dear friend…..I love you
