She was a member of Delta Delta Delta Sorority, and he was a Kappa Sigma fraternity member. Susie received her bachelor’s degree in 1965. Susie and Dale were married for forty-five years until his death in 2010, and together they raised three sons, Jeffrey, Davis and Daniel.

Susie married Fred William Heroman on November 23, 2011 after they reconnected, having been on the cheerleading team together at CHS in high school. They were married for nine years until his death in 2020. Susie was also preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Paul Comeaux and Robert Comeaux, Jr., her sisters-in-law Patricia W.

Susie is survived by Fred’s children, Leesie Greene (Michael), Freddie Heroman, Katie Houston (Jason) and Matthew Heroman, and Fred’s nine grandchildren.

Susie always enjoyed a good garage sale, and if you made her gift list, there was a chance you would receive a “gently used” item at some point. Her weekly time spent with her Re-Kindle Bible study group, as well as her Rosary group, was cherished by Susie. She also enjoyed her neighborhood “wine walks” and organizing monthly SJA Class of ’61 lunches. Susie was a current board member of the Martial Billeaud Foundation, served on the Magnolia Mound Preservation Foundation, and was a founding member of the La Fiesta Dance Club, as well as a long-time member of the Junior League of Baton Rouge and the Baton Rouge Little Theater.
