Susan enjoyed the outdoors. Family boating and camping traditions hold many happy memories.

She often commented about the contentment and pride she felt at the wonderful and amazing people they had become.

Susan is survived by her husband of 22 years, Alan Brown; her three children: Candace Wells of Southboro, MA, Matthew Wells of Standish and James French of Biddeford; her stepchildren: Alan Gray of Saco, Steven Gray of Springvale, Jennifer Brown of Westbrook, Justin Brown of Buxton and their spouses.
