Susan is survived by her daughter, Susan P. Cheney and her son-in- law, Tony O'Connell, both of Kill Devil Hills, and her great-grandchildren, Bryce and Keeley Webber of Colorado.

Susan was my first boss. We worked for Strick Trailers in 1969! She was a fair but detail oriented boss. Many fond memories. RIP Cindy (Neff)
