Their home on Williamsburg Place was known by all as the house with the fish hanging on a sign at the top of the driveway. Susan was very active in the community. In addition to being a longtime member of the Blackridge Garden Club, Blackridge Civic Association and Blackridge Swim Club, she was dedicated to her church, St. James Episcopal in Penn Hills. She was very proud of all the work she did with the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh and the youth program, "Happening." She touched the lives of many youth and cherished all her experiences bringing young people to know the Lord. Growing up, Susan and her sister, Mary Anne, were very proud to be members of Calvary Episcopal Church in Shadyside. Their years spent at Sheldon Calvary Camp in Conneaut, Ohio are memories she also cherished. Susan was very active in the lives of her children. She loved helping sew costumes for the Churchill High School musicals and being a Churchill Charger Marching Band parent. Whatever her children were involved in, Susan was there being loving, supportive and always encouraging. From Girl Scouts to swim team, Susan had a very active presence that was appreciated by many. Susan loved gardening, quilting, reading, singing and genealogy. She was an avid Pittsburgh fan of the Pirates, Steelers and Penguins. One of her favorite Pittsburgh memories was being at the 1960 World Series Game 7 at Forbes Field, witnessing the ninth-inning home run hit by Bill Mazeroski. She was also a constant fan of the many teams all her grandchildren played on. But, more than anything, Susan loved the Lord her God with all her heart, all her soul, all her strength and with all her mind. After moving to Valley Forge she found a new church home at the Church of the Good Samaritan in Paoli, Pennsylvania.
