She loved her two dogs Danny and Pal, who recently departed just last year.

Susan was an amazing woman, very happy, sweet, loving, and fun. She will be extremely missed by all (including her kitties, Mika and Lolly). Rest sweetly, Sue. We’ll be watching for you when you come to us as a butterfly, hummingbird, or a dragonfly.
