Susanne Shaw Rennie Schaller , 81, of Midland, Maryland, passed away on February 18, 2020, peacefully at the Sterling Care Nursing Home, Frostburg, Maryland, with her daughters by her side.

She is survived by her former husband Richard Rennie of Fort Ashby, West Virginia, two sisters, Norma Gaunt and husband Bill of Millville, Delaware and Leta and Denny Hopwood of Cumberland, brother Jim Rankin and wife Linda of Colorado Springs, Colorado; three daughters, Debbie Lohr and husband Bob of Palm Harbor, Florida, Alexia Garlitz and husband Kevin of Finzel, Maryland and Denise Morgan and husband Phil of Maugansville, Maryland; seven grandchildren, Richard, Christopher and Charlie Cornelius, Briana Sisler and husband Corey, Stephen Fazenbaker and wife Jennifer, Sean Fazenbaker and Stephanie Fazenbaker, and four great-grandchildren; Abbey, Brayden, Liam and Ellie.

Susanne’s family is grateful for the wonderful care provided to her from all of the staff at Sterling Care Nursing Home and special friend who was her caregiver, Wilma Cutter of Klondike, Maryland.

At her request, Susanne was cremated.

A private service will be held for family and friends.  A celebration of life will follow at a later date.
