Susan loved caregiving. Whether it was with children, friends and family, or the elderly, she had a nurturing spirit. She was a wonderful teacher, as she homeschooled her daughters, and devoted many years to raising four children in a home filled with the love of both her and her husband as well as the holy spirit. She was known by many to be passionate, intelligent, creative, and kind. Suzie was a fantastic cook, decorator, gardener, and homemaker. She enjoyed bird watching, especially bluebirds and cardinals. Susan was a devout Christian who believed in the forgiving love of Jesus Christ and strove to exemplify His teachings throughout her life, loving Him with her whole heart.
