Susan McCormick

Susan lived in Des Moines until she moved to Denver in 1946 with her mother. They lived in the Molly Brown House temporarily with Susan's paternal Grandmother, and then later settled on Adams Street. Susan graduated from East High School in 1958, then attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins and remained there until 1960.

Susan married Richard McCormick on September 16, 1960. They had three children, Kelly, Kimberly, and Michael before divorcing in 1973.

Susan worked as a regional executive secretary at Life Savers/Nabisco in Denver for 24 years. She later began working for Centennial Elementary in Broomfield where she remained until she retired at the age of 62. After retirement, Susan moved to Berthoud until she was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia and then moved to Bethesda Gardens Assisted Living in Loveland.

Susan had many hobbies including gardening, arts & crafts, singing & enjoying music and spending time in the mountains with friends and family at their cabins. Her favorite flowers were gardenias and roses. She cherished them, along with her lifelong friends—and above all, God. Susan was a member of Faith Community Lutheran Church in Longmont.
