Susan Bookbinder

July 12, 1946 – January 17, 2026

Long-time friend and supporter of the Centers for Multiple Sclerosis, Sue Bookbinder, has passed.

Sue, who had MS, was an ardent supporter of Centers for Multiple Sclerosis. In 2021, she gifted the Centers for MS a generous $30,000 donation in support of their Disability Assistance Program.

To honor Mrs. Bookbinder, the Centers for Multiple Sclerosis renamed the program to The Bookbinder Disability Assistance Program. Through the Bookbinder Disability Assistance Program, individuals obtain critical help, including case management, temporary care if a caregiver becomes ill, access to durable medical equipment not covered by Medicare, and assistance with basic necessities in emergencies.

Since the initial gift, Mrs. Bookbinder continued to provide annual support of the program. But her generosity was not limited to the Centers. Sue and her husband Art founded The Lighthouse of Collier for the Blind. Art & Susan received awards from Temple Shalom and the Jewish National Fund. Last year, Susan was honored as one of Hadassah’s Inspiring Women. Susan was an active supporter of The Gulfshore Playhouse, The Russian Cultural Center, the Naples Community Orchestra, Artis-Naples, Opera Naples, The Grand Piano Series, The Jewish Federation of Greater Naples, and many others. She sat on the Boards of The Lighthouse of Collier, The Naples Community Orchestra, and The Jewish National Fund.

Rest in Peace, Sue. Thank you for all you've done.
