Susan’s favorite author was Pat Conroy, and his quote sums up her love of reading: “My soul found ease and rest in the companionship of books.” Rest easy our dear mom, grandmother, sister and aunt. We will miss your laughter and good spirits, but we know you are at peace.

A celebration of life service will be held at a later date.
