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
