Susan Raye Landis

My heartfelt condolences go out to the Landis family. Susan was a lovely and caring person. I worked with her off and on for a year when I was an AP at the old E. Brainerd Elementary.

We haven't lived in Chattanooga since 1986 and have missed a long, beautiful chapter in the lives of the Landiss family. Frank and I became good friends before Susan and Stuart became our best friends, and of course what I remember of the girls is VERY long ago as in babies.

Nevertheles, we've kept up somewhat, have similar interests and causes and mutual friends - and I know we would have been good friends if we'd not moved away to Clarksville. Accordingly, I ache for your loss - and wish all love and healing for family and friends in the days, moments, years ahead.

Love from
Peggy (and Stuart) Bonnington

I am forever grateful to have known Susan for the time that I did. She was loved and cherished by everyone. Thank you for allowing me to help take care of y´all! We love you Susan, and Frank! And Daisy

It was an honor to take care of Susan. She meant so much to us! She will be greatly missed. Thank you for allowing us to be apart of your life!

Susan was an incredible person. I was lucky to know her through her daughter Claire, who is one of the kindest, warmest, most sincere people I know, and I can see how her amazing mother played a huge role in making her the person she is, as well as her wonderful sisters. I admire Susan's confidence, her strength, and her conviction to do what's right, even when it's hard. She left behind a wonderful legacy in her family, and my heart goes out to her nearest and dearest.

I always felt so happy to be around Susan. She was so sweet, funny, and intelligent. I am thankful for our visits together, especially the one last year in Murphy. She was such a special person, and I'm truly sorry for your loss. My heart and thoughts are with all of you who loved her.

Shelly and I love the Landis's like family. I admired Susan for her dedication to the democrates. She will be missed. Love you Uncle Frank.

I worked alongside Susan in Hamilton County and those were some of my best school years. Her humor and knowledge kept us all on track and I learned so much from her.
When we moved to the west coast Susan, Frank, and the girls made a cross country camping trip and we spent some time together. I remember three playful busy girls whose parents simply adored them. Lovely times.
I know she leaves an impossible hole to fill. May her memory be a blessing.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies. I worked with Susan at EBE. She was an amazing human! I learned so much from her. She made difficult IEP meetings better with her calming voice and easy delivery. She had a knack for bringing out the best in all she touched. I am very thankful that our paths crossed. I know she will be missed!

My sincere condolences to Frank and her daughters. Susan was one of a kind. She got me involved in things that have changed my life. Never was into politics until Susan. Took over for her in NCSTHL when she asked me. It was hard to say no to her. I will miss her so much. RIP dear friend.
