Susan was a Tallahassee native who attended Leon High School. She was retired from a successful career after 35 years of dedicated service to the State of Florida. Susan began her career with the State in the late 70’s and over the years, through hard work and dedication, climbed the ranks to Bureau Chief over the Concealed Weapon Section of the State of Florida.

Susan enjoyed spending time with her husband at their river house on the Ochlockonee River, enjoyed spending time with family and friends, and hosting gatherings at the river as well. Susan enjoyed reading, crafts and DIY projects, and was an avid pickleball player until she could no longer play due to her illness. It has been said by fellow picklers that Susan would ‘slay’ on the court. She was a true warrior.
