It was my pleasure to see Susie every day as an employee at Active Day. Her sweetness, funloving personality and love of life meant so much to me. I will remember her with love always.
Susan will be remembered fondly as a beautiful woman who was funny, kind, witty and loved her Donny Osmond. My daughters and I met Susan at Friendship Club and we were greeted with a smile and hug every time!! Rest In Peace!

Oh, how very sad!
What an amazing life Susan lead. In addition to remembering her in high school, I have wonderful memories of Tuesday evenings at the Baron Hugho Gazebo, listening to music, and playing with my Mepa. Susan would fuss over her and make her feel so special.
God bless dear sweet Susan. You hold a very special place in our hearts.
God bless,

I vividly recall once being introduced to Billy’s sweet younger sister after he got back from the service. I’m glad to hear she led such a full and happy life! My condolences to all. May Susan Rest In Peace .
