Jeanette Susan Pratt-Price

CHAPALA, Jaisco, Mexico – Jeanette Susan Pratt-Price “Susie”, 75, of Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico, passed away on April 24, 2026, after a short battle with multiple lung infections, complicated by her weakened immune system from over 30 years of living with multiple sclerosis.

Susie was born on April 6, 1951, in Waterville, of the late Jeanette Pratt and Dr. Loring Pratt. She grew up in nearby Fairfield, and graduated from Lawrence High School in 1969. She went on to the University of Maine, Portland, where she graduated with a B.S in Nursing. She became a registered nurse and worked in a number of emergency care units at hospitals in New York City and Newark, N.J. She is survived by her husband of over 41 years, Dr. Brandon Price, her daughter from a previous marriage, Sarah Pratt Savasuk Price, and her son Jonathan Loring Price. She is also survived by eight brothers and sisters and three grandchildren, Xavier Eastin, Eleanore Eastin and Helen Price, and multiple nieces, nephews, cousins and other family members.

Susie dedicated her life to being a fantastic and wonderful mother. Her life was very eventful, as she lived in eight different US states, as well as Edinburgh, Scotland and Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico (where she lived the last 15 years of her life). Susie travelled all over Europe over a multi-year period. She was warm and passionate about her children, and kind to everybody she met.

But, for the past 31 years, she lived with multiple sclerosis, which deprived her of mobility for the past 21 years – she was cared for at home by her husband and a number of caregivers. Susie and Brandon moved to Mexico in 2011 to avail themselves of an excellent healthcare system, and low-humidity consistently warm weather. Since moving to Mexico, she has had one caregiver, Veronica Puebla Barragan, who along with her family, cared for Susie tirelessly. Susie’s family will forever be grateful.

There will be a celebration of life for Susie in Oakland, in early August. Susie will be deeply missed and forever remembered for the love she gave so freely and the courage she showed by living and prospering with her illness.
