She eventually moved to the states and graduated from Satellite Beach High School. She furthered her education by first becoming and LPN and later a Registered Nurse. She did it all while operating her own business nd raising four amazing daughters.

Nursing and mothering came naturally to Susan as she had an enormous heart and great compassion. She was always there for anyone in need and made everyone feel welcome and like a treasured member of her family. Her radiant smile was contagious, making others feel content just by seeing it.

Her family was her greatest love and she will be missed and remembered forever.

I am incredibly fortunate to have met Susan and to have had the opportunity to call her my friend. She was a ray of sunshine, always there for me whenever I needed her. We spoke not long before she passed, and it felt as though no time had gone by. She was a wonderful friend, and I will miss her deeply, but she will forever live on in my heart. It does bring some comfort to know that she is no longer in pain, but it is heartbreaking that she was taken from this world too soon. I am praying for your entire family during this difficult time. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel. Until we meet again, sweet Susan. I love you. Love, Cheryl
