In 1982 Susan and her children relocated from Portland, Oregon to Central Oregon where she enjoyed the outdoors. Her favorite activity was to take long “drives in the woods” and she loved watching the deer in the fields, as this is what she found most peaceful.
Susan loved animals and music; She loved to dance, loved to cook and had strong faith in the Lord. Her gift was to minister to people “where they were at” and without judgement. She shared her love with as many friends and acquaintances as she could.
She found peace and hope in “To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord”
A celebration of Susan’s life will be held at 1:00 pm, on Saturday, April 6, 2019 at Brookwood Clubhouse, 105 E. Old Barn Rd. in Eagle.
