She was proud of her kids and loved them unconditionally. Susan was known for her ability to talk to anyone and put a smile on their face. She was nonjudgmental and a friend to everyone, even if she just met them. She worked as a PBX operator for the majority of her adult life. The holidays were her favorite time of year, especially when surrounded by family. Susan loved taking trips to the south to visit family. She also enjoyed taking small hikes with her husband and dog. As many of you may remember, she loved giving and receiving even the smallest of gifts.
