Susan DerManoogian Galli passed away on February 5, 2017 at the age of 57. Susan is survived by her husband of 31 years, Randall Galli, and loving children; Jake and Jillian Galli.
A resident of Amherst, Susan was born in Nashua on April 15, 1959 to the late Haig and Verna Mae (Rolfe) DerManoogian. She graduated from Nashua High School where she was crowned Prom Queen twice. In the pursuit of making everyone smile, she earned a degree in dental hygiene at Westbrook College in Biddeford, Maine. Since graduation she worked as a dental hygienist, spending the last 15 years working for Kalil & Kress Family Dentistry in Nashua.
Those of us who have had the pleasure of having Susan come into our lives, for an hour or lifetime, will always remember her for her beautiful smile, contagious laugh, outgoing personality, zest for life and a giving heart. She loved spending time with friends and family, especially her two beautiful children, Jake and Jillian. Susan had a passion for skiing, the ocean, the mountains, gardening and traveling every chance that she could get. She also volunteered with the Plus Company and the Greater Nashua Dental Connection throughout her life.
In addition to her immediate family, Susan is survived by her sister Debra L. DerManoogian, and her husband John Christie of Goffstown, and her brother, Steven H. DerManoogian of Nashua. She also leaves behind many dear aunts, cousins and friends. There will be a huge hole in all our lives with her absence.

I am shocked and saddened by the news about Sue. There really are no words. She was an amazing woman. She was always happy, laughing, she was very caring and just an all around wonderful person. I will miss her greatly. We had many fun times together. Whether it be skiing our hanging out when our kids were younger. The world has lost a very special person. My heart breaks for Randy, Jill and Jake. You will be missed my dear friend. Hugs to all of you. Kathy and Erik

Jay Zaccone said : Guest Report Feb 10, 2017 at 7:40 AM

I knew Sue from elementary and high school (when her hair was very long). We rode the same school bus and graduated together. I had the pleasure of working with her on some of our high school reunions. She was a wonderful person and always friendly and kind. Her death was a horrible shock and I my deepest sympathies to her family.

Denise Perry said : Guest Report Feb 09, 2017 at 11:16 PM

I am shocked and saddened to see this news. Susan and I went to Fairgrounds Jr High in the early 1970's, She was popular, a cheerleader, beautiful , funny and wonderful! She completely lit up the room with her joy and smile. I never heard her speak a mean word about any one. On we went to Nashua High we had a couple of classes together , she was homecoming queen I think and eventually we graduated in 1978. The last time I saw her was in the late 1980's we bumped into each other at the Pheasant Lane Mall. She was pushing a child in a stroller and told me that she was expecting another. She seemed so happy! To her family, please accept my sympathy on the loss of Susan. She will join a few others I carry memories of in my heart forever. Rest in Peace Susan.

I finally got to meet Susan and ski with her when she came to stay with us in North Conway last March. My friend, Dotti Stratton Marino, had been telling me that Susan, was a dental hygiene colleague, an excellent skier and a beautiful person. We had a beautiful day of skiing and a wonderful evening of socializing. She was such a joy and I was so hoping to have her join us again this year. My heart goes out to her family, friends and patients at the loss of beautiful Susan.

I am truly sorry to hear of Susan's passing. Susan took some of my classes at the gym and no matter when we chatted she was always smiling and you couldn't help but smile right back at her. My warmest thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. Kris Girouard

Kathy & Frank Mann & family said : Guest Report Feb 09, 2017 at 4:14 PM

I was fortunate to have Sue as my roommate many times on office travels. I have so many fond memories of Susan as I have known her since Jr. High & work with her at Kalil & Kress. The news of her passing has been very difficult for all that knew her. Her love for life & her family was like no other. Her generosity, kindness & infectious smile & laughter will surely be missed. Randy, Jill, Jake & family. Your wife, mother, sister & friend is shining upon you. She is now running the heavens & she is the top Angel. You all have your own special memories of her & they are yours only to have and hold. Sometime, when you are sitting quietly if you listen she is there with you. It could be a smell, flashback or a feeling out of nowhere. You will sense her & it is such a wonderful feeling. Susan I will love & miss you always. I miss my roommate & passenger. I will see you in my dreams & one day you will be there at the Golden Gates awaiting my arrival. 💔

I will always remember Sue Der for her beautiful smile and infectious full of life personality. My deepest sympathies to you all for the loss of this very special person.

Brian and Sue Cannon said : Guest Report Feb 09, 2017 at 2:12 PM

I was one of those unfortunate ones that only got to meet Sue a couple of times, but I was struck by her great outgoing personality that made you feel good to be around. The first time I met her she had a mouthful of braces, and I thought there aren't many people who can pull that look off. Susan did. I mentioned to my Sue that we should go out with Randy, who we loved with his laid-back, nice style and demeanor and Susan's effervescent personality because I knew we would have a great time. Sorry we didn't get the opportunity to do that. Our most heartfelt condolences to Randy, Jake, and Jill and all that loved Susan. May the peace of the Holy Spirit help you through this most difficult time. Brian and Sue Cannon

We are still shocked and saddened by this news while on vacation. Sue was a beautiful woman inside and out. We just saw her a month ago. And it's very hard. God bless the family and Debbie.

Ken and Clare Collins and family said : Guest Report Feb 09, 2017 at 10:07 AM

My whole family would always make sure we got Sue for our appointments because she was not only an expert at her job but she was always such a delight to spend time with. I don't think her face ever held anything but a smile. We always talked about travel and it makes me so happy that she filled her life with so much adventure. I would always comment on the photographs that showed what a beautiful, loving and close-knit family she had created. My heart is broken for all of you that you should lose such a stunning, joy-filled, warm and loving wife and mother. Our deepest condolences to all of you.

I am very saddened to hear this news. I've had Sue as a dental hygentist for the past couple of years now. She made the trip to the dentist less painful. She was always happy and smiling and truly cared about her patients. I'm going to miss catching up with her and her teasing me about my bad flossing habits! My heart goes out to Sue's family and friends, as well as the Kalil and Kress family. Going to miss you Sue!

I was so lucky to have had the privilege of having Susan work as a hygienist in my office for over 15 years. She was such a dedicated hygienist and loved her profession, patients and team.

Sue was the brightest firework in the sky, one of the most caring and genuine people I knew and lifted my spirits whenever she was around. I hope and pray that with the coming weeks and months the sadness can subside and the love you shared through crystal clear memories of fun and happy times can rise to surface and stay with you always.
