Susan Record Harriman passed away peacefully on June 21, 2022, with family members by her side. Susan was born in 1937 to Louis DeWitt and Eva Wakely Record of Nashua, New Hampshire. Susan attended Colby College in Waterville, Maine. There she met the love of her life, Edward “Ted” Nickerson Harriman, Jr. Susan and Ted were married in 1958 and graduated together from the language program at the Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University to prepare for a life abroad. The couple set off to Singapore for their first assignment. They would live not just in Singapore but also in Malaysia, Okinawa, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Greece, China, and Hong Kong. Along the way, they raised four handsome, fun-loving, globe-trotting boys, John Record, Stephen Charles, Andrew Campbell, and Christopher David. In 1989, the couple returned to the U.S. to realize their long-held dream by opening The Inn at Sunapee in Sunapee, New Hampshire. For 19 years, they welcomed guests, friends, and family to the 18-room inn and became a fixture in the community of Sunapee. In 2008, with two careers behind them and many friends all over the world, Susan and Ted felt they could finally retire. They closed The Inn at Sunapee with one last weeklong gathering of family and friends during the holidays that year and then moved to Virginia to be closer to their family. Susan had a gift for hospitality and a flair for cooking that shone in her time as an innkeeper. She loved to share the dishes and recipes that she discovered during her world travels, especially if she was cooking them for a dining room full of her children and grandchildren. She had an infectious giggle and loved to tell her sons naughty jokes to make them blush. She was a loving and tender caregiver to her husband in his days fighting Alzheimer’s disease. Susan is survived by her devoted children, Jay Harriman and his wife, Barbara, Andy Harriman and his wife Amy, and Chris Harriman and his wife Kim; her grandchildren, Zach, Allie, Alex, Jenny, Christopher, Holly, Campbell, and Julia Harriman, Joseph and Erica Harriman LaComb, Erik, Evan, Stephanie and Ian McGrew; three great-granddaughters, Maya McGrew, Levi Paige, and Adelina Buhls; her sister, Judith R. Balyeat; her niece, Cathy B. VanBenthuysen and her husband, Russ; her great-nieces and nephew Jessie and Jesse Kistler and Amy VanBenthuysen, and two great-great nephews, Jaxon and Jetson Kistler. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Edward “Ted” N. Harriman, Jr. in 2019, and her precious son Stephen C. Harriman lost tragically in 2014. A celebration of Susan’s life will be on August 6, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. in Boggs Chapel, RandolphMacon Academy, 200 Academy Drive, Front Royal, Virginia, 22630. Susan and Ted will be interred later in the summer at the Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Harwich Port, Massachusetts. Arrangements by Burch-Messier Funeral Home, Bedford, 540-586-7360.
