Susan Hagan Obituary

SUSAN LOUISE HAGAN
Susan Louise Hagan, daughter of Fletcher and Dianne (Henry) Hagan, passed away on Tuesday, July 18th, 2023 holding the hands of lifelong friends Chuck Martin, Dawn (Watson) Martin, and Carla (Knieberg) Bostick. She was diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer last fall but never lost faith or her sense of humor.
Susan grew up in Jacksonville Beach, first on 9th Street and later on Fairway Lane. She attended Seabreeze Elementary, Episcopal, and graduated from Fletcher Sr. in 1981. She worked as a bartender at Shuckers, Rum Runner, Tree Steakhouse and the Junkyard Cafe before moving up to North Carolina with her family.
She will be remembered for her clever comebacks, her generosity, love for Bjorn Borg, Harry Connick, Jr, Days of Our Lives, and Barack Obama. Her Georgia vs. Florida football parties were legendary.
She is survived by her mother, her younger sister Jan (Hagan) Wolff, brother-in-law Shawn Wolff, and two beloved nieces, Abigail and Callie. Susan's care at the Marjorie McCune Center, Four Seasons Hospice, and from her cousin David Henry and cousin-in-law Dennis Polk was beyond compare.
Private services will be held in the months to come. Condolences may be sent to: Jan Wolff, 206 Laurel Ridge Road, Asheville, NC 28805. If you would like to make a donation in her name, then please help raise awareness of and lower the cost of screenings to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance: ccalliance.org.

Susan had a great sense of humor. I remember joking around with her and laughing a lot. We shared some real fun times in Jax Beach working at Shuckers Raw Bar and partying afterwards. Those were the days. Susan and those times will surely be remembered.
