Suzy Huang
Suzy Huang moved to Larchmont in 1999 with her husband Wes. Originally from the Chicago area and Austin, TX, respectively, Suzy and Wes have raised three children in the Mamaroneck school district.

Suzy first became aware of At Home on the Sound’s need for volunteers in 2015 through her church and At Home on the Sound’s mission was immediately appealing to her; her own elderly parents were still living in their home in the Chicago area at the time and would have benefitted enormously from a similar organization. She has been a Volunteer Driver for At Home on the Sound since 2015 and cherishes her conversations with members.
