sionals,” said the former Co-President<br />

of Impact 100.<br />

They say that giving is the<br />

most rewarding of life’s endeavors<br />

(and in a biblical sense it’s<br />

the only purpose). Perhaps that<br />

is why Duane has devoted so<br />

much of her life to helping others.<br />

“Susan took Impact 100 to<br />

a whole new level. She helped<br />

change the data bases, invitations,<br />

events and polished things<br />

up. She took us to a whole new<br />

level,” adds Robinson.<br />

Current Co-President of Impact<br />

100 (Karen Sweetapple)<br />

also has some accolades to bestow<br />

upon this humble woman<br />

of grace. “Susan dedicates herself<br />

150 % to anything she puts her<br />

mind to. She devoted so much<br />

time and effort in helping the<br />

organization grow. She is a great<br />

leader, is very bright and has an<br />

amazing grasp of details.”<br />

When asked about his wife,<br />

Marshall Duane had this to say.<br />

“Susan is a wonderful mother<br />

(and grandmother) and cares<br />

so much about others she often<br />

puts them before herself,” said<br />

the Merrill Lynch Wealth Management<br />

Financial Advisor and<br />

Elder of the First Presbyterian<br />

Church of Delray.<br />

Though Duane doesn’t like to<br />

talk about herself, she will talk<br />

about her eldest daughter Elizabeth,<br />

who lives in Seattle with<br />

husband Nathan and their two<br />

sons. Their son Marshall and his<br />

wife Logan live in Delray and her<br />

youngest daughter Caroline is<br />

getting married this spring. “I am<br />

so proud of the wonderful adults<br />

my children grew to be – I am<br />

one lucky Mom!”<br />

We are one lucky community<br />

to have her.<br />

As Duane likes to say: “No man<br />

is an island entire of itself; every<br />

man is a piece of the continent.”<br />

We couldn’t agree more.<br />

There is a festive Impact 100<br />
