Cumberland,

Susan Hughes, a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother and cherished friend, passed away on Wednesday, August 9, 2023, at her home, surrounded by her beloved family. She was 76 years old. Susan was the adored wife of Richard A. Hughes Sr., for the past 53 years.

Born in Pawtucket, she was the daughter of the late Grafton H. and Ruth (Smith) Reed. Susan resided in Cumberland for the past 46 years, previously residing in Pawtucket and Scituate where she was raised most of her life.

Above all, Susan's heart belonged to her cherished children: Richard A. Hughes Jr., and his wife Caroline of Bristol and her daughter, Kristie Hughes of Cumberland.
