Susann Craig (1936–2021)

Intuit founder and life trustee Susann Craig passed away peacefully on June 28, 2021, at Providence St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, Calif. Family and friends remember Susann for her radiant love of life, creativity and remarkable sense of style. Her passion for outsider and self-taught art and her thoughtful leadership strengthened Intuit and gave guidance to its staff. In memorial, Intuit asks family and friends of Susann who wish to create commemorative works in her honor—art, poetry and letters recommended at 8 x 10 in. or smaller—to mail or drop off these works as tributes four weeks before the private memorial service on November 6, 2021. These works must be able to hang on a wall and will not be returned to their creators; Intuit will share these commemorative pieces with Susann’s family. Cards and letters to her family can also be mailed to the museum, and Intuit will pass them along.
