ALF Mourns the Passing of ALF National Volunteer Leader Susan Sherman Stone

On behalf of the entire American Liver Foundation (ALF) family, we express our deepest condolences to the family of long time ALF visionary and leader, Susan Sherman Stone, who passed away from primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), an autoimmune liver disease, and complications from other medical challenges.

Susan joined ALF more than three decades ago as an avid volunteer with the New England Division. She then went on to become a member of ALF’s national board of directors where she took on the role of treasurer and chair of the investment committee. She also served on our executive and finance committees. Susan was a staunch advocate for research and education and a generous supporter of ALF’s mission. The Susan Stone PBC Fund for the Cure Research Award was established in her honor.

“Susan was such an independent woman—bright, smart, articulate, and passionate about helping others facing liver disease. We lost a good friend, and my heart goes out to her beloved husband Joe, and their entire family,” said Michael Kerr, emeritus member of ALF’s national board and executive committees, and chair of the finance committee.

Susan was a devoted wife to husband, Joe, and loving mother to sons, Jamie and Ethan, and three grandchildren. May the cherished memories of Susan’s life bring comfort to her entire family.
