Susan attended Ferris State University as well as a small college in Missouri. She loved life and sharing good times with her family and friends every chance she could. In her earlier years, her family lived in Harrison Twp. among treasured neighbors whom became lifelong friends. She introduced her children to boating with Donald and also to her own passion of horses. They lived in Algonac, MI on a horse farm where she taught her children the value of hard work, resilience, independence and accomplishment all the while having fun. As a mother and grandmother, it was so important to her to provide unconditional love and support to her children and grandchildren. Susan was immensely proud of her family, and leaves behind nothing but beautiful memories.

She brought so much joy and love into this world and she will be greatly missed.
