Not Available

Susan “Suba” P. Humphreys, 65, of Pennsville, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on May 23, 2026.

Born on March 4, 1961, in Salem County, she was the daughter of William Humphreys and Alice Kisling. Susan moved through life with a loud curiosity and a deeply compassionate spirit. A devoted mother, sister, and friend, she carried a lifelong commitment to learning, to justice, and to caring for all living beings.

Her life’s work was both practical and profound. As a mortician, she served others in their most difficult moments with dignity and grace. As a published poet, artist, and crafter, she gave voice to her inner world, creating beauty that reflected both her sensitivity and strength. She was also a passionate advocate for human rights, guided always by a deep sense of empathy and fairness.

She found joy in wandering—through travel, through music, and through creative expression. She was endlessly curious, fiercely loyal, and capable of a rare and unconditional love. Her daughter was the center of her world, and her beloved pets held a special place in her heart.

She is survived by her daughter, Emily Eve Humphreys, and her brother, Denis Humphreys. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Deborah Humphreys.

Though her presence is no longer with us, the love she gave, the art she created, and the lives she touched remain—quietly and enduringly—woven into the world around her. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

In her own words, an excerpt from “Birth #1” from her poetry book “Spiral Birth of Creation.”

“Mind is no longer aware of itself,
I merge within a convolution of Light,
Set upon the spiral of Universal creation
An ever-beginning vortex within Infinity

I am
and
I am not

Here

Soul Expressions are woven in intricate tapestries,
Unique interpretations of a single, simple design
Each a masterpiece of LOVE

As the Artist’s hand begins to weave,
I become aware of a tiny, golden thread……

I begin again”
