Susan Smith Obituary
Susan "Sue" Morris Smith, 60, of Medina, Washington, passed away peacefully in the early morning of Saturday, September 21, 2019. Her passing, at the EvergreenHealth Hospice Care Center, followed a hard-fought, four-year battle with cholangiocarcinoma, or bile duct cancer.
Sue was born on November 29, 1958, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Robert (deceased) and Cynthia Morris. She grew up in Ohio along with brothers Steve and John. After graduating from Bowling Green State University with a business degree in 1981, Sue married Greg Smith in 1983 and had two children. Professionally, Sue achieved a successful career in wealth management and financial services. She also served on the Overlake Hospital Foundation Board of Directors for 13 years. Personally, Sue enjoyed traveling, gardening, and spending quality time with her family and friends.
Sue is survived by her husband of 36 years, Greg Smith, daughter Lindsay Smith, son Ben Smith and wife Cynthia, mother Cynthia Morris, brother Steve Morris and wife Angie, brother John Morris, and many beloved extended family members and friends. Sue will be remembered for her kindness, compassion, love, and dedication to do anything she could to support those she loved. She will be deeply missed by all those who were blessed to know her.

Sue was my dearest friend and I will miss our lunches where we shared our past, present and dreams for the future. She was my rock when I needed her, and I think she would say the same of me. We held each other up during our working years and found laughter in all our trials. I will miss Sue deeply.
