Susan Vines Soriano

She and her husband Gary became part of the Chick-fil-A family in August 1977 when her father, Jeff Vines, opened Chick-fil-A at Eastdale Mall. Gary and Susan went on to open their own Chick-fil-A franchise in Auburn’s Village Mall in 1983. Susan loved her Chick-fil-A family. She loved the beach and special yearly trips as a family, especially watching the grandkids play and explore. She loved the Cardinals that play in her back yard - they were her God wink. She loved fireworks, especially watching from the balcony on the beach. Susan attended Frazer United Methodist Church for many years and most recently attended Church of the Highlands where she was part of the Legacy Team.

Susan is survived by her loving husband, Gary Soriano; her daughter, Ashley Gill and her husband Blake; her son, Jason Soriano and his wife Ashley; her five grandchildren, Gracie Susan and Levi Nicholas Gill, Sydney Claire, Pearson Kennedy, and Ford Martin Soriano; her parents, Jeff and Evelyn Vines; her brother, Jace Vines; and her dear pups, Bully and Samson.

She loved her grandchildren with all her heart and left a legacy of love for them to follow. They brightened and enriched her life! Susan always lit up a room with her bright smile and quick wit. We take comfort knowing she is dancing in the arms of our Savior.
