256 Susan Cartland-Bode: Born to Share the Gift of Music

For much of her life, Susan Cartland-Bode has shared her gift of

music-- as a soloist and choral singer, voice teacher, player of

piano and violin and, most recently, fiddle. A resident of Plymouth

Place in LaGrange Park, IL, Susan performs solos, sings with the

Plymouth Place Singers, and directs the Singing Sages, a group

that offers sing-along programs for residents in the upper levels

of care. The joy of music has sustained Susan through

challenging times in her life; she is writing her memoir in four

acts. Susan and her husband, Hank, have been living happily at

Plymouth Place since 2019—"the best decision we ever made.” In

their spare moments, they enjoy sharing time with their

“blended” family - 5 married kids, 10 grandchildren (3 married)

and 2 “Greats!”

"I believe in the power of music for the aging mind." - Susan Cartland-Bode
