Susan J. Hurley, age 43, of Boxboro, died Tuesday in the Coes Pond Hospice, Worcester. Susan originally battled cancer six years ago and has faced her recent diagnoses early November with great courage and stoicism.

Born October 4, 1963, the daughter of the former First Assistant Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Joseph J. Hurley, Esquire of Carmel Terrace, Framingham and the late Jean F. (Welch) Hurley she was raised and educated in Framingham. Sue was graduated from Marian High School, Framingham in the Class of 1981 and received her Bachelor of Arts Degree from Framingham State College in 1986. During the 1980's she was employed by Sears and Roebuck in Natick. A kind, giving and caring person, she had been employed by the Town of Wayland from 1992 to 2006 as a Teacher's Assistant as well as a tutor to special needs children. Sue had held positions in the BASE after school program; in Pegasus, the summer program and was a Special Education Teacher Assistant for several individual students and groups of students. She had developed an expertise in certain computer software programs which facilitated student's learning. She was a keen observer of children's learning and her input and recommendations were invaluable to the special education staff in their lesson planning and implementation. But, most of all, beyond her official capacities, she was an integral part of the fabric of the school community. Sue was always eager to help out wherever and whenever she saw the need. Whether it was planning a party, or covering a recess duty or just being there as a listener and friend to staff members in need, Sue was a tangible presence in the Wayland School Community.

An avid gardener, she enjoyed her part time work with the former Arrowhead Garden Center which is now operated as Mahoney's Garden Center in Wayland and had also been a counselor the Meadowbrook Summer Camp in Weston, MA.

Sue also enjoyed reading, being a frugal shopper and most of all spending time with her family and friends.

In addition to her father, she is survived by five siblings and her 4 nieces and 2 nephews, Elisabeth J. "Lisa" and her husband Robert Gravel and their daughter Meaghan Reckis of Salem, David J. and John J. Hurley both of Framingham, Mary V. and her husband Raymond Gosselin and their children, Carl and Megan of Vineyard Haven and Margaret J. Hurley Esquire and her two children, Michael Joseph Stygles and Mary Elisabeth Stygles of Grafton.

Predeceased by a brother Robert J. Hurley, she is also survived by his daughter, Sarah K. Hurley of Natick.
