As a child, Suzie developed a passion for baton twirling and had a lifelong love of learning and teaching. She also greatly enjoyed golfing and traveling, pursuits that brought her joy and lasting memories with family and friends.

Suzie is survived by her husband, Philip L. Shettle; her children, Lee Shettle (Debbie), Scott Shettle (Nicole), and Todd Shettle (Diana); and her beloved grandchildren, Morgan, Dalton, Channing, Logan, and Savanah.
