Susan Daylene Boone

The world is a little less beautiful today with the passing of Susan Daylene Boone. We have lost a true treasure a woman whose kindness, compassion, quiet strength, and unwavering love touched every life fortunate enough to know her. Though our hearts are broken, we are forever grateful for the immeasurable gift of having known and loved Susan.

Susan Daylene Boone was born on February 22, 1959, a true amethyst brought into this world. Fittingly, purple remained her favorite color throughout her life. Like the amethyst she loved, Susan embodied peace, serenity, compassion, and quiet strength. She had a calming presence that made people feel safe, loved, and understood. Beautiful inside and out, Susan had striking hazel eyes, complete with a tiny freckle in one eye that made them even more unforgettable. Her smile could light up an entire room, but it was her generous heart that people will remember most.

Susan's greatest purpose in life was loving her family. She was an extraordinary daughter, the very best big sister, a devoted mother, an adoring grandmother known simply as "Hunny," and a proud great-grandmother. If someone she loved needed her, Susan was already there. She never kept score, never asked for recognition, and never hesitated to put the people she loved before herself. Showing up wasn't something Susan did it was simply who she was.

She is lovingly remembered by her eldest son, Jeffery Adam Meurer Jr.; her daughter, Serena Jade Mighaccio; her son-in-law, Rob Fehr; and by the family she adored beyond measure. Nothing brought Susan greater joy than watching her family grow. She treasured every moment with her beloved grandchildren, Jarrett Adam Meurer and his partner, Raven Pumphrey; Kennalee Daylene Tucker-Sparks and her partner, Christian Snyder; Peighton Riley Sparks; Jalynn Lee Meurer; Summer Joy Fehr; and Sailor Grace Fehr. Becoming "Hunny" to her precious great-grandchildren, Tinsleigh Grace Dudley, Hadlei Mae Sparks-Dudley, and Sawyer Lane Snyder filled her heart with immeasurable happiness. Her family was, without question, the greatest joy of her life.

Susan dedicated her life to caring for others as both a caregiver and massage therapist, believing healing came in many forms. She believed deeply in God, found comfort in angels, and embraced healing crystals. Her gentle spirit brought comfort to countless people, and simply being in her presence made others feel at peace.

She was also a fighter. Susan faced cancer with remarkable courage and grace, never asking for sympathy and never allowing hardship to define her. Instead, she continued to love generously and live with quiet resilience.

A true country girl at heart, Susan loved horses, barrel racing, and spending time outdoors. She was one heck of a country dancer, lighting up the dance floor with her smile and a good country song. She was also a gifted artist who painted beautiful longhorn skulls, blending her creativity with her country soul. She found beauty in butterflies, treasured her favorite color purple, and had a special gift for making the ordinary feel meaningful.

Her family will forever smile when they remember Susan's legendary packing skills. No matter how full the suitcase, truck, or box seemed, she always found room for "just one more thing." It was one of the many little ways she made life easier and more fun for everyone around her.

Susan is also lovingly remembered by her sisters, Shelly Wolfe and her husband, Eli Corral, and Shawn Bennett, along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends whose lives are forever richer because of her kindness, generosity, and love.

Susan leaves behind a legacy measured not in years, but in the lives she touched. She taught us that strength can be gentle, kindness is never wasted, and showing up for the people you love is one of life's greatest gifts.

When you see a butterfly drift across your path, hear an old country song, notice something painted in her favorite shade of purple, or somehow manage to fit one more thing into an already full suitcase, smile and think of Susan. The world was brighter because she was in it, and though her journey here has ended, the love she gave so freely will continue to bloom for generations to come. A true treasure can never be lost, for Susan's love lives on in every heart she touched.

She will be deeply missed, forever cherished, and loved beyond words.
