Susan’s family and friends brought tremendous joy to her life.  A long-time member of Chestnut Ridge Baptist Church and the Potter’s Clay Sunday School Class, Susan considered herself especially blessed to have been part of such a loving church family.­­ Because of her own life experience, Susan had a compassionate heart for single mothers, cancer patients, and families who experienced the loss of a child.  God often brought hurting people into her life, and she was passionate in her efforts to encourage and help them.

Susan’s family gratefully acknowledges the wonderful care she received from Dr. Joanna Sadurski and all the staff at the Cancer Center of Self Regional Health Care in Greenwood, as well as the support of the Laurens County Cancer Association.

The family is at their respective homes, and a private graveside service will be held.
