Susan, affectionately known as Maw Maw Sue by her grandchildren, was an immensely caring individual who cherished her family, especially her beloved dog, Kotton.

Her love extended beyond her family to encompass a deep appreciation for animals, and she consistently looked out for her loved ones, maintaining regular contact with everyone. Her specialty was her famous spaghetti, she adored the color pink, and her favorite animal was the cardinal bird. Sue found joy in activities such as fishing, exploring estate sales, collecting antiques, and relishing the company of family during gatherings. Her interests also included the simple pleasure of watching the Kardashians. Susan's presence was truly treasured, and her absence leaves a profound void that will be keenly felt by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
