Susan Terry Obituary

TERRY

SUSAN Age 69, passed away peacefully at home on October 19th, 2016. Daughter of the late Oretha and Albert Seguin, also preceded by brother Richard, and sister Oretha. Graduated from Sacred Heart High School in 1965 and went on to raise three children, be a Girl Scout leader for years, own and operate Sunday's Best Resale shop and so much more. Susan couldn't help but leave a lasting impact on those she touched. She was practical, loving, artistic, fun and a strong woman of high character. She is survived by her husband of 51 years, Darrel, her children Richard, Sandra, and John, her grandchildren, Alexandra and Natalie Terry-Martin (which she cared for from birth), Abby and Alex Scopas and brother Albert Seguin. Susan loved being involved in the lives of her children and grandchildren. Her door was always open to you. She enjoyed spending time at her cabin with family and friends, laughing and was like a fish in the water. Gathering and celebration of life Saturday, October 29th from 2-7 p.m. at American Legion Post 261 located at 28444 Utica Road, Roseville, MI.

Susan and I are cousins. We were about the same age and always enjoyed laughing and sharing girly secrets. We loved being free up north and playing house in the woods near her parents cabin. Throughout the years we chatted occasionally to catch up! I loved her so much. May God be with you all during this difficult time. She is certainly in heaven reunited with everyone she loves.

Sandy. Richard. I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a. Awesome lady. I remember the lunch she would make for me when I was home sick from school. Sitting at your kitchen table looking out at her orange tree with one litte orange on it. Boy we knew not to pick it. Hugs and kisses to all of you.
