Susie graduated from the University of Missouri in 1964 with a Bachelor of Journalism Degree, majoring in Advertising. While attending the University, she was President of the of the professional advertising fraternity, Vice-President of the professional fraternity for women in journalism, and a very active member of her sorority Kappa Alpha Theta. Susie was honored as a member of the Mortar Board and recognized as a “Whose Who” among her class. On the Journalism School steps, she found her soul mate, Bruce Hall, whom she married in July of 1964.

From the start, Susie and Bruce were a pair in everything they did. After getting married, they both worked for news stations in Cape Girardeau and Joplin, MO.; Susie as the weather girl and Bruce reporting the news. She became a copywriter after they moved to Jacksonville, FL. In 1971, they moved to New York where Susie started acting in commercials. The following year, they moved to Atlanta, GA where Susie continued her acting career and Bruce continued his 50 year career in journalism.

Susie became a member of AFTRA-SAG in the 1970’s and was elected Vice-President of the local Atlanta chapter. For the next 30 years, Susie performed in countless national and local commercials, movies, and print advertisements. She saw herself as a personality. Susie enjoyed people, loved the spotlight, and was at her best in front of a crowd.

Susie and Bruce found their spiritual home at St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church. They were both active members at St. Martin’s for 52 years. Susie served as a member of the Vestry, St. Elizabeth’s Chapter, Bazaar committee co-chair, delegate to the Diocesan Council, Suthers Center (set up, design and volunteer), and Sunday School teacher. She and Bruce enjoyed offering church services and communion to the residents of PurittHealth homes for ten years. Susie became the first female Lay Reader at St. Martin’s. She loved to sing the stories of Jesus and saw herself as a storyteller, reading the lessons of the Bible as her spiritual gift.

The biggest joy of Susie’s life was her family. She and Bruce were married for 53 years and were a team in every way. They raised two children, Jefferson Logan Hall (Horizon) of Savannah, GA, and Sherry Diane Poor (Andrew) of Woodstock, GA. She delighted in being Grammy to her grandchildren Jack and Madelyn Poor. Susie is also survived by her sister Diane Evans of Mason, TX, sister-in-law Marilyn Hall of Columbus, OH, sister-in-law Suzie Hall of Redwood City, CA, and brother-in-law and sister-in-law Steve and Judy Hall of Augusta, GA, and many nieces and nephews.
