The Westchester Uniformed Dispatchers Association (WUDA) regrets to announce the passing of Susan Tirone, Dispatcher #633 (Retired) of the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services.
Susan faithfully served as a part of the 60 Control Team for over 23 years prior to her retirement in December 2022. Aside from her calm, caring and compassionate demeanor to every caller in need and her ever-professional - yet delightful - voice on the other end of firefighter and EMS provider radios throughout Westchester, she was family to all of us that worked with her. And, while she retired prior to the formation of WUDA, she was a supporter of the organization and all that are a part of it.
While what most of what our team does is learned over time, there’s things that simply cannot be taught. Things like treating everyone with respect, being polite to anyone you interact with and looking out for your colleagues are traits that come naturally for some - and Susan was the epitome of all these things.
Despite retiring nearly four years ago, Susan remained in touch with many of her old colleagues regularly and was immensely proud of what she did, the people she did it with and those that have come since her departure. “The Room” hasn’t been the same since she retired and it surely will forever feel a little emptier now that she has passed on.
To Susan’s mother, siblings, extended family and friends - we offer our sincerest of condolences. Susan was loved and revered by all of us that got to work with her and she will forever be remembered.
Thank you for your service, Dispatcher 633, we got it from here.
