Susie was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, and a friend to all who knew her. She worked in the printing industry where she met her late husband Earl, and was retired from Williams Printing Company after many years of service as a bindery and folding machine operator. She enjoyed keeping children in her home, spending time outdoors, shopping, talking on the phone, collecting “anything frogs”, and vacations on the beach in Florida at the home of her son and family. Susie loved wearing red and eating “sweets”. She had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh, and her smile always lit up the room. most of all, Susie loved spending time with her family, teaching children in Sunday School, and singing in the choir at Whitley Memorial Baptist Church where she and her late husband, Earl, were members and he was former Pastor.
