Susan Vesta Devries

I have fond memories of Susan from my high school years. She was the mother of one of my closest friends, an employer and a mentor. One of the first memories that pops into my head is leading a 5-day club with Susan at La Paloma in MV and trying to communicate with those rambunctious children in a mix of Spanish & English. She proved that investing in the training of young people for God's work with Children was a priority. As high schoolers, we never really new what sort of family...

Susan spent many hours as a band and choir director and later privately tutoring my children. we adored her in so many ways. What a special woman! What a hole is leaves in this world- but what beauty she is now living in heaven.

I am so sorry for your loss and my own. Susan had such an impact on my spiritual life and that of my siblings through CTL. My life would not be the same without that experience or her loving encouragement. We exchanged e-mails toward the end of last year, and her faith and love for the Savior were strong to the end. Susan will have many eternal rewards. We loved her. Cherie, Dustin, Devon and Darby, you are in our prayers.

To Susan's family: I am so sorry for your loss. I worked in the office at MVCS during the years Susan taught there and I appreciated her very much. She brought great things to the music program and the concerts were always so enjoyable. May God comfort you and give you strength in this time of grief.

To all of Susan's precious extended family,
Susan loved you all so deeply. You all were her greatest love and joy in life next to Jesus. She lives without a veil with Him now for which I am so thankful. She has been a dear friend since high school and I will miss her in this life very much. It is the truth and not just a compliment to say she was a servant and truly a giver.
"Thank you Susan, for giving to the Lord, I am a life that was changed....."
And thank you family...

You have been an instrumental piece in my life and have always encouraged me in my walk with the Lord. Thank you Aunt for your kindness and gentleness and the wonderful memories I will have of you for eternity. You will be missed and are loved very much.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I knew Mrs. DeVries from MVCS, and she was a wonderful lady and will be missed dearly. We enjoyed her cheerfulness and smile.
