Susan Denise Lauver

Susan Denise Lauver, 70, of New Cumberland, passed away on November 9, 2026. Born on September 21, 1956, in Schenectady, New York, to the late Robert and Virginia (Coppolo) Taber. She leaves behind a legacy of love, creativity, and joy that will forever live in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.

Susan is survived by her husband, Mark Lauver and was a loving Mother to her two sons, John and Daniel (Kristen). Also surviving is her brother, Roger Taber; sister, Becky Taber; nephew, Josh Taber; and nieces, Gina, Mya, and Shannon Taber.

She poured her heart into everything she did, from her job as a waitress to her vibrant hobbies that filled her life with color and laughter. Susan was a true lover of life—she loved the outdoors, from camping to hiking, anything bringing her closer to nature. She loved dancing, often seen reveling in the rhythm of the 70’s and beyond. Her passion for music brought her great joy as she cheered on contestants on American Idol and danced along with the stars.

Her playful spirit shone through while decorating her home for holidays, bringing festivity to her family's gatherings. Susan found pleasure in reading, and watching her stories, “Young and The Restless, and “Bold and The Beautiful” and other television shows, and challenging herself with word puzzles—activities that reflected her sharp mind and creativity. She also enjoyed frequenting local establishments, where she relished the simple pleasure of sharing good meals and laughter with friends and family.

A public viewing will take place at Parthemore Funeral Home on Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 2 - 3 PM.

In lieu of flowers, please consider planting a tree in her name.
