Susan Ables, ASU Art Museum administrative assistant, passed away Jan. 6, 2011 of an injury to her head suffered in a fall at her home. Ables has been described as “the heart and soul of the ASU Art Museum,” She loved working at the ASU Art Museum because she, herself, was an artist. She studied art with Joan Yen at Scottsdale Community College 25 years ago, and the two remained friends. Ables’ love for art was always present. She applied for the position in 2002 and was recommended by Yen. In tribute to Ables, the museum staff has decided to name a lounge in her honor. "We felt that this is the most appropriate way to commemorate her, since she was the social glue here,"
