Suzanne Amsel | Nursery Attendant

Suzanne Amsel

Suzanne arrived in Port Orange from Louisiana in 1981—just prior to welcoming her fourth son. She was quickly introduced to Unity, joined, and has worked in the Nursery ever since. She retired from Daytona State College, where she worked full-time in the Student Disability Services department for 24 years and taught ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) part-time for eight years. Suzanne is a Notary and has officiated many wedding ceremonies.

At present, she kitty/puppy/house-sits, all the while knitting scarves (from donated yarn) for the homeless and crocheting donated single-use plastic bags into sleeping mats for them. She’s very environmentally conscious—a vegetarian for 38 years and a raw food vegan for the past 15—enjoying gardening and exercising to round out her quest for a happy, healthy lifestyle.
