Susan K. Ochs, of Warwick, passed away on January 7, 2017 at St. Anthony Community Hospital. She was 74 years old.
Born on February 15, 1942 in Copiague, NY, she was the daughter of Charles and Vera (Jonason) Haubrich.

Susan was Owner and Bookkeeper of Ochs Orchard in Warwick. She was also a Dental Hygienist with Dr. Robert Werner in Florida, NY. She was a member of the Warwick Valley Quilter’s Guild and a member of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.
"Mom was a loving, caring person, always there with a smile. She really enjoyed quilting and crafts. She was an asset to the Orchard keeping the "behind" the scenes" straight. She'll be missed every season when she would look forward to the first fruit or veggie ready from the farm. An animal lover, her dog Sonny will be missing her, too."

Cruz of Warwick, her daughter, Janice Williams and her husband Andrew of Warwick; her grandchildren: Jessie Williams and Amy Williams; a great-granddaughter, Tessa D’Esopo; and her dog, Sonny.
