Susie worked as a teacher, a paralegal and for the last several years as a Petroleum Landman. She graduated from Sam Houston State University and was Baptist by faith. Susie was a bright light in a dark world and she just wanted people to get along. She was pleasant in all weathers and never shirked a task. Her favorite time of the year was fall and she loved to cuddle up in a blanket with a good book. Susie was a great educator and was able to understand and put in exquisite English what people could not correctly illustrate with words. She could not control her joy and she allowed it to overcome her and would burst into contagious laughter. She loved adventure, comedy and fly fishing.
