Susan Adele Sherman Shaw, 78, formally of Clarkston Michigan, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 15, 2022, at her daughter's home in Savannah, Georgia.

She is survived by her children, Tracy Gonzalez (Joseph), William Shaw, Jr.; grandchildren, Jenna Bailey (Thomas), Joey Gonzalez; great grandson, Drew Bailey; sister and brothers, Betsy Hartwig (Fenton), John Sherman (Marian), Gary Sherman (Cathy); and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

She was born in Middletown, Ohio on September 4, 1943, to the late Betty Martin Sherman and Charles W. Sherman. She lived in western Pennsylvania and then Bloomfield Hills, Michigan where she attended high school and college. In 1964, she married William L. Shaw, and they became wonderful parents to a daughter, Tracy and a son, Bill. They raised their children in Clarkston, Michigan. She worked for Waterford school district specializing in adult education. She was an avid golfer, and competitively sang with Sweet Adelines, a barbershop style a cappella chorus and quartet. She loved to travel, cook, watch movies, and have family game night.

After retirement, she moved to Savannah, Georgia to be closer to her daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren, and was later joined by her son.

She loved her family and friends, she loved to laugh, and was always the life of the party.

Memorial service will be held in Ligonier, Pennsylvania at a later date.

I love and miss you my dear sister. If I could share all my memories of our life together, sisters, best friends, competitors. confidants, and so much more it would be a very large book and I am sure a best seller. I feel your peaceful spirit and carry your smile with me everywhere. I love you Sue.
