Susan was my roommate and maid of honor at my wedding in 1975, Lake Tahoe, CA. I loved her and we laughed and laughed and shared a room together. We worked in the casinos for the summer to get fast money. I stayed in touch with her until she got married then lost contact. I just found out she passed away. So very, very, sorry to hear this. She sure left behind a legacy. I wish I had more stories to tell about her. I met her as I lived in an apt next to her in Chico. We both graduated at the same time and decided to move to Tahoe together. She said she liked to live in the "Fast lane" and I did not. Your family is very fortunate to have her as a mom and wife and mother in law. Makes me sad to find this out. Dona Howarth Pahuta

So many wonderful memories with the Emmerson family when the children were small. We were next door neighbors and wonderful friends in Chico. Susan and I were always planning things to do with the children. Making cookies, taking the kids swimming, going for long walks. Susan was fun, full of adventure and ideas. She had such a green thumb. Wonderful Mother and wife.  She was beautiful inside and out. I’m so deeply saddened to hear about this accident. God bless you George and boys and family.

Dear George,
It’s hard to imagine the pain of time cut short by your loss, life so fleeting and unpredictable, and what a treasure every day is. Susan seemed to be one of those rare people—interested, energetic, artistic—who nurtured not only her family but a whole community and did it well.  AE and I hold her and you and your family in our hearts and in the light. You have our deepest sympathy.   Warm wishes,
Steve

I remember teaching Collin and Vaughn and seeing Garret at Saint Francis Middle School/Bishop Quinn H.S. many years ago.  Then I was blessed to have your mom teach art to my children at Saint Joseph School.  My son felt he wasn't an artist, but I loved what he brought home.  She told me how to take  my children's drawings and paintings and use a matte to frame it  and see it as art!   

My deepest sympathies.,

Claudine Palmer (teacher and parent at St. Joseph School)

George and family
Sending our deepest condolences to you all.  We have so many fun memories skiing at Sugarbowl , always enjoyed Susan’s humor and fun spirit. Rest In Peace  Susan.
Fondly,
Walter , Lee Ann ,Mike and Natalie Smith

Susan and I shared the same first and last name,  so she was Susan and I was Aunt Sue.  

Great times were had the first time I visited the family when I graduated from High School, and then again as I returned to Sacramento after college. We shared many interesting adventures and stories as I became a Californian.  

How times fly, but memories are always there to remind us of special people and places that bring joy then and as we relive them again.

To the Family and friends of Susan Emmerson - the joy that she brought you will continue in a special place in your heart. It is always there to bring to the surface, bask in the warmth of the love, and know it will be there the next time it is needed. 

Now you have a special angel watching over you and you will know when she is near. 

Thank You Susan for being in my life. 

Love,
Aunt Sue Wells

Dear George 

Mr . Wonderful! My heart truly goes out to you. Being a customer of S P, 
having the honor of attending S P’s annual picnic, going to Alaska fishing, and just being in your presence those few times were inspiring. Susan was truly magical!!
If you had a fan club I’d be a paying member.  Dan Davis

Dear Emmersons,
Albert and I were so saddened to hear about the passing of your beloved wife, mother and grandmother.  Susan was a gift to our community. Her energy, love of life and passion for art were evident to everyone. She generously gave of her time, talent and her joy to all who knew her, but especially to her art students.
Susan will be sorely missed.



Dear George and Family,

I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss.  How life can change in just an instant.  I only met Susan once, and that was at the SLB meeting we had at the museum in DC.  I so enjoyed talking with her that evening.  Please know that my heart felt thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time. 

Thinking of you,

Maureen Pello  

George, 
My love and support to you on this incredibly difficult day. You  are surrounded by a huge family and extended group of friends, all who will be with you either in person or spirit, while honoring Susan’s amazing partnership with you and life of goodness.
My wife and I have fond memories of our Park City dinners together.
My very best, Bo 

Uncle George, Garret, Collin, Vaughn, Dane, and families,

I was stunned when Dad called me last week with the tragic news. I cannot truly imagine what you are feeling with losing Susan so suddenly, and we offer you our condolences and prayers. Aunt Susan was a pillar in our family and will be deeply missed.

I will always appreciate how happy Susan was that she shared a middle name with our oldest, Melody (although we spell Noelle a little different than Susan did). There will always be a little piece of Susan in our family, and as Melody grows up we'll make sure we tell her about a great aunt that she shares a name with but unfortunately never got to meet in person.

Love,
Brian, Elizabeth, and family

Dear George and the Family,

 Our heart goes out to each of you and  we’ll be here for you all the way.

Dear George and family — I am so sorry to hear of Susan’s passing. I have many memories of Susan at school and on the soccer field, as well as her boys refereeing where she made sure they knew the value of work. But the one that stands out the brightest and shares her fierce and generous heart was after the PC fires. I was numb looking around our gutted property and in drives Susan. She gives me a quick hug, then states she is there to pick up our boys. I had no idea what for — she matter of factly said she didn’t want them to miss soccer practice so she was taking them to get soccer shoes.  I had not yet computed that they had no shoes. That was Susan getting done what needed doing. I will always be grateful for the strong support she gave us during that time.  I’m thinking of you all and wishing you peace. Love Ann, Troy and family

Our sincere condolences to George and all of the Emmerson family, our thoughts are with all of you. Susan was a remarkable lady and will be  greatly missed.   Most of all  will miss taking the beloved smoked salmon she looked forward to every year and sharing stories of family and  her cooking recipes.  Very thankful for her kind heartedness and conversations over the past 14 years, we will miss you Susan. 

Dear George,
You know how fond we are of your family. Now at this special time, please accept our deepest sympathy. Please also extend our sympathy to all of your family.
With love from,
Grandma Edna

My deepest sympathy! I am so very sorry!
Susan helped me feel close to her and connected to her family. We kept in contact with phone calls or text messages every few weeks. She loved hearing about her elderly Grandma Edna and exchanging photos and videos. Susan had a big heart!
With much love,
Aunt June

Collin, Garet, Vaughn, Dane and George, 

I'm heartbroken for your family. I can't begin to imagine what you must be going through and feeling right now. I wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you all right now and the impact your mom had on me. Before I took art as an elective at Bishop Quinn and your mom taught our art class, I never had anyone show me the techniques and how to use the mediums she introduced to us. With her skill-set and patience she was able to bring out my inner-artist in a way that other teachers hadn't done before. I was so proud of the work I created in that class that I kept it with me as a reminder of what I'm capable of creating. She had a huge influence on developing my artistic skills and I'm forever grateful for her willingness to volunteer her time,  skills and passion to us students. I attached a photo of a pen and ink drawing she helped me with. She encouraged me to take on a project that wasn't easy and simple, but extremely detailed and complex because she knew that I could do it. I'm thankful that Mrs. Emmerson noticed my natural talent, shared her passion for art with me and pushed me to take on and complete this piece. I'm so sorry for your loss and have you all in my heart right now. Be well.

Our hearts are broken with the news of your sudden loss.  We always enjoyed our chats with you and Susan at company events and our chance meetings while biking on the river trail.  

Howard and Jean Peterson  

George
My heart goes out to you and your family I still think about the time we spent at Crater Lake your wife was a lot of fun and she will be missed.   

We have no words to erase the pain. We are so very sorry for your loss. May the sorrow be muted with family and time.
Rick and Kathy Hoard

My sympathy to you and your family and hope for peace from all the love and beautiful memories that you hold in your hearts.

Our thoughts are with you and your family George. We are so sorry for your loss.
 
For Susan:  Fly with the angles and dance with stars.

She will always be with you, your family and loving you.

Dear George and Family,

We are so sorry for your loss. I recall so many long  conversations about family, relationships, and phases of life. Susan and I had a common interest: trying to understand people. Matt and I will miss her honesty, kindness and never forgetting to ask about our girls. She left us too early. 

Lea and Matt Tate



We are so saddened by Susan’s passing.  We always enjoyed her visits with George.  Susan loved her family so much and loved their times together.  We will miss our conversations and the many laughs we shared.  She was always so much fun.  Our love and condolences go out to George and the family.

Dear George and Family,

Words are never adequate in moments like these. We were saddened to hear the shocking news. Our hearts go out to the entire Emmerson family. Susan will be sorely missed. She was a thoughtful, giving, and caring friend. Her gracious elegance and warm heart extended to George and her family. She cared deeply about her grandchildren and was happy to be a part of their lives. We are so sorry for your loss. We will miss her, too. 

Yuvonne and James Tate

We are very sorry to hear about Susan's passing.  Both Francesca and I have fond memories of time spent with her and George at annual Boone & Crockett meetings.  The Emmerson family is in our thoughts and prayers.

George and Family,

Words cannot express the sorrow we feel for you during this most difficult time.  We too will miss Susan and cherish the many wonderful memories we shared together.  Her home and heart was always open and inviting to our family.  We especially recall the way she loved our children and always made them feel welcome in her presence.  It is our prayer that the love of God comfort you.

Steve and Christina Jackson


Dear George, Sending you condolences and my sincere best wishes.

So very sorry for your loss George and Family. I have no words to express my sorrow. Please know your not alone. God be with you and in your prayers.

Susan was very generous giving of her time and talents to all. She generously volunteered to teach art at St. Francis and Bishop Quinn from 1997-2009, and at St. Joseph School from 2009-2020. She was a master artist who shared her love of art with all of the students she taught. Coming into her art classes for the first time she would hear "I can't draw", "I'm not an artist"; but by the end of the school year students beamed at their art pieces and took pride in knowing they truly were artists. Susan shared her passion and love of art with her students and helped them to see their potential.
Susan touched our hearts and helped us to believe in ourselves. We will miss her presence here at St. Joseph School. We will smile as we enter the Art Room and remember our friend and teacher.


Our dearest friend George, and the entire Emmerson Family, 

We mourn with you the sudden and inexplicable loss of our beloved Susan. Her death leaves a deep void in our hearts. We will always treasure the time and experiences we shared, and her optimism and positive outlook in life.  May God’s comfort and peace be with you at this time of pain and grief. 

Chris and Dianela Pellascini 

I met Susan and George in 1982 in Maui at the NSDJA Convention.  My brother and I with our wives enjoyed some personal social time getting acquainted with this beautiful young couple.......seems like yesterday.

You are in our prayers.  God bless you and guide you through journey of grief.

I am so very sorry to hear of the death of Susan. She was a wonderful person and someone Joan and I always admired and considered a friend. My deepest condolences go out to George and Susan’s entire family. 

I met Susan when I taught Dane in fifth grade. She came in and did art lessons for our class. I will always remember Susan as a gracious, talented, and creative woman who was eager to share her talents with others. I appreciated how she believed in others, laughed easily, and always sought to inspire others. My sincere condolences and prayers for your family.
Peggy Peterson

Our sincere and deepest condolences to George, the boys and all of the Emmerson family.  

Our deepest condolences to George, his son’s, their wives, and grandchildren.  We have lost a true friend and mentor.
 God speed and our deepest prayers to you “Susan”, thank you for the memories that you instilled with the challenges and rewards of hard work these last 14 years, You will forever be in our hearts.

My husband and I live on the ranch in Weed, Ca that the Emmersons own.  When Susan and George came to the rock house, we always tried to get together to visit.  But I remember most is when the house flooded and I called Susan to tell her, she was so kind.   When she came up the kindest was still there.   We will always remember her with fondest in our hearts.  I will miss her smile and kind words.

Dear George & family, 
Our deepest sympathy to you as you navigate this difficult time. We are here for you & we’re so lucky to have known Susan. Jan will miss her walks on the river trail & all the fun conversations.  Her family was her greatest accomplishment & she treasured the time with Serena & Grayson.  We still can’t believe she is gone. Take care of each other.  George, you are not alone & are surrounded by friends & family that love you & care about you. Lean on us, we are here for you.  xx G & J

My heartfelt condolences to George  and to the Emmerson family. We have you guys in our thoughts and prayers up here in Idaho. So sorry for your loss.

Dear George and Family, 
Sending my love, condolences, and thoughts to you all.

Susan welcomed us to the Redding community with open arms. The weekly power walks, the recipe exchange, the beauty tips, the political insights ... Susan was a gal’s gal while being tough as nails and raising four boys into successful young men. God Bless her and the family.  Descansa en Paz 💐

Our deepest condolences to George and family on Susan's passing. This news just stunned all of us and we are so sorry for her loss. We all had the opportunity to be with her on a number of occasions and she will be missed by us as well. So sad.

George, Garet, Collin, Vaughn, & Dane,
We are so sorry to hear of Susan's accident and passing!  Having you boys in our classes at Country Christian was always exciting to us because we knew that your mom would come in with an amazing Art class and lessons that you and your classmates would experience.  We each developed a friendship with your mom that we so appreciated who she was and ALL that she did.  Our hearts are broken with & for you but please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you as you walk through this valley of life.  May you be comforted by the many memories of her and just knowing her heart for you, George, as her hubby, Boys, as her sons, and grandkids, as her gifts!  Hugs, Karda & Melissa

George,
Maria and I are so sorry for your loss. What a tragedy for you family. We only met Susan a couple of time . She was kind, sweet and had a sence of humor. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family at this very sad time.Lucky to have her on this earth for the time she spent. May God bless Susan. Rest in Peace.
With our love and sorrow.
Maria and Mark DeMeo

I met Susan at 21 years old. She was working in Lake Tahoe the same summer I worked there. Through mutual friends I was asked to be her roommate at Chico State and it changed my life. Knowing Susan can do that to you. Memories of our years together as young college students, young brides and young mothers are some of the best memories I have. My heart breaks for what good have been. Rest in peace my dear friend. God is watching over you and those you love. Until we meet again.
XOXO
Joan Steele-Bettencourt

My heartfelt condolences to George on the loss of his wife and to the entire Emmerson family. The news of her passing truly shocked me and rest of the timber community. Please know that you are all in our hearts and prayers at this difficult time.

I started doing Susan's nails in 2017. She was a ray of sunshine. I loved spending every two weeks with her. She would show me pictures of her grandkids. Tell me stories of her grandkids. And tell me about her days spent with her grandkids. She would show me funny videos of comedians she watched. She had so much advice to pass on..LOL!! I loved it!! I will miss her so much. Our time together was very precious. 
I am so sorry to her family for their loss. I am in a loss for words. My prayers are with all of you. 
Rachel  Arnold
