Her daily devotional readings were a source of inspiration and peace, guiding her through life's challenges and joys. Her faith was the foundation of her life, shaping her into the compassionate and generous person she was known to be.

Above all, Susan treasured her family. She is survived by her only son Tim (Kristi) Sheahan, grandchildren David (Gracie) Sheahan, Brooke (Ryan) Harper, brothers John Duffy, Charles (MaryAnn) Duffy, and Dennis (Kathy) Duffy, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she delighted in every moment spent with them.

Susan had a remarkable gift for staying connected. Whether through phone calls, emails, or texts, she kept up with her family's lives across the country, always eager to hear about their latest adventures and achievements.
