She was preceded in death by her husband, George DiDomenico; brother, Austin Plyem; and parents, Jacqueline and Austin Plyem. She is survived by her beloved partner of 7 years, Robert Bruno and former husband and father of her children, Donald Kain; daughters, Lisa Kain, Alison Lohmann (Frederick), Rachael Kain, and Deirdre Barnhart (Paul); grandchildren, Alexander Kramme, Peter Kramme, Charles Lohmann (Mary), Jacqueline Lohmann (fiancé Garret Welsh), Hannah Barnhart, Austin Barnhart, and Erin Barnhart; great-grandchildren, Zaina Kramme and Jane Lohmann; siblings, Christopher Plyem and Linda Plyem; nieces, Tracy Plyem, Michelle Plyem Kocin, and Nikki Plyem Bedmar; nephew, Tyler Plyem; as well as the many friends she has made along the full and adventurous life she led.
Born in Fort Jay on Governors Island in New York City, Susan's caring nature and call to service led her to a long career in nursing. She worked for over 35 years for Long Island Jewish Medical Center where she continuously rose through the ranks and constantly strove for the best not only for her patients but also her fellow nurses. Once she retired, she was still constantly on the move, whether it be traveling the world, acting as secretary of her community women's club, or deep in genealogy charts. Susan lived in retirement in St. Augustine, FL, where she met Bob, and the two spent many great years together, before moving to Richmond, VA to be closer to family. She was an amazing and generous mother, who adored her role as mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
Family and friends are invited to a gathering in her honor from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, May 31, 2025 at CrossRidge Community Pavillion, 3300 CrossRidge Glen Way, Glen Allen, VA 23060. Her lifetime of service will be recognized by the Central Virginia Nurses Honor Guard with a Nightingale Tribute. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her memory to a charity of your choice.
