Faith and family were the themes of Susie’s life, and there was nothing she enjoyed more than huge family celebrations. Her home was always warm and welcoming, and she insisted on feeding all who visited. Susie had a way of making everyone feel like family, and everyone who knew her loved her. She will be dearly missed. Friends and family are welcome to attend services as follows:
