Throughout her time in Perry, she worked at Mercy Hospital as a receptionist, retired, and then became an avid volunteer for numerous public service agencies.

Susie will always be remembered for her selfless character. She took pride in helping others, developing motherly relationships with so many, and ensuring that others were taken care of. She will be extremely missed by so many.
