Susan C. Schulz

Susan C. Schulz passed away on August 3, 2022. She was a friend to many and spent her too-short life working tirelessly to assist others. Susan was born on September 7, 1968, in Buffalo, New York. She was a proud member of the Seneca Nation and went to Bowling Green State University to pursue a degree in photojournalism. After finishing, Susan joined the U.S. Peace Corps in Paraguay, South America, as a health care volunteer. It was during that time that she developed a passion for travel and improving the lives of others.

Susan worked and traveled in over 25 countries before eventually settling in Wilmington, North Carolina. She was an employee of the Social Security Administration for over 20 years as a Service Representative and Claims Specialist. She loved animals (both wild and domestic), and was always upbeat, sassy, and never afraid to speak her mind.

Susan is survived by her brother, Stephen (Sharon) Schulz, and nephews Stephen and Christopher. She is preceded in death by her parents, Nancy Forster and Paul Schulz. She also leaves behind a multitude of loving friends and extended family members; especially her devoted friend, Thomas Deaver, who will miss her greatly.

Services and interment are private.
