SUSAN MEGGS DEARWENT

Our hearts were broken when we looked for an address for Sue and Steve and found Sue's obituary. What a lovely, wonderful lady she was to anyone who knew her! Sue was an inspiriation to me when I started my career in education. She was our daughter's first grade teacher and our son, John, found a best friend in Steven in elementary school. Our entire family has great memories of summers in the ball park where Sue often kept score and Steve coached. She was an example for all through her...

Steve, You remided me the other day that there is always joy in the morning even under sad circumstances. Sue was a big sister to me for 20 years. She was not only there for me in great times, but also very trying times. I will always continue to see her beautiful smile and bright eyes.She always found a way to make a negative into a positive. My life has been blessed in so many ways because of Sue Dearwent. May the Lord walk with you and hold you near. I know you can always look out your...

There are so many tributes that are such a wonderful testimony of Sue's life and yours. I am sure there are hundreds, if not thousands, of stories that people could share of the way Sue touched and changed their lives. She was such a special, special lady. And she was always a southern lady with grace and charm. She seemed to enjoy our Christmas parties as much as we did. I know it was difficult at times to host that party every year with all of the commitments and obligations that come...

Steve, Steven, and family,
I want to reiterate what a remarkable woman and blessing your wife and mother was to all of us. The love in her heart, the smile on her face and the exuberance of her faith spoke volumes to everyone. As my friend, over twenty five years ago, she inspired me to become an elementary teacher. As she taught my son in second grade, I learned about the powerful relationships that develop between teachers and students. As a teacher, I aspired to be the talented,...

I am a young nurse, and I want to honor Mrs. and Mr. Dearwent and their family here; I don't want to cry over the loss of her alone. So for the first time, I will step over the professional boundaries to say how much my soul was lifted to be near a patient. I have only known them in this past year of their journey. But to be in a room with Susan and Steve, you couldn't help but be enveloped in and affected by the pure love and affection of 'Nanny' and 'Paw' and the connection they shared...

Dear Steve, Libby, and Family,
I know you will miss Sue so much, and I know that she is with you always.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Steve, Ed and I are so sorry to hear about this very sad news. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Ed and Zoe Ann Cerny, Myrtle Beach, SC

Dear Stev, Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of Susan. She was a sweet and beautiful person and I know that you will miss her greatly. I trust that the fond memories you hold will be a source of comfort to you during this most difficult time. You were blessed to have had Susan in your life for all of those 42 plus years. And,little brother, she was fortunate to have had you in her life as well. Best regards,Bruce Rosen

Mrs. Dearwent was my second grade teacher in 2002. I fi had to pick one teacher that changed my life, it would be her. I remember her always being there, always willing to help her students. She was one of those teachers that you knew she cared about you.."
