Susan had a passion for crafting and a deep love for animals, especially her cherished dog, Lindy. Over the years, her home became a sanctuary for many animals, reflecting her kind and nurturing spirit.

A natural caregiver, Susan not only raised her own three children but also touched the lives of many others through her home daycare, which she operated for over 17 years. Her nurturing presence extended to her church community at First United Methodist of Brunswick, where she faithfully served as a nursery worker on Sundays for many years, demonstrating her commitment to caring for the youngest members of her congregation.

Susan’s unwavering love and support for her family was evident in her active involvement in their lives. She never missed a dance recital or ball game, always present with cheers and encouragement. Her dedication to attending these events was a testament to her deep love for her children and grandbabies. She took immense joy in watching them pursue their passions, celebrating their achievements with pride and enthusiasm.

At the time of her passing, Susan was the Senior Payroll Manager for SNF Chemtall in Riceboro, GA. She had been a dedicated employee with SNF Chemtall since 2012, bringing her expertise and commitment to her work every day.

Susan's life was a testament to her faith in Christ and her unwavering dedication to her family and community.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL, reflecting Susan’s lifelong commitment to caring for others. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those she loved and in the countless lives she impacted through her kindness, generosity, and unwavering support.

Rest in peace, Susan. Your legacy of love and care will continue to inspire all who were fortunate to know you. We will miss you.
