Elizaville - Susan Jane Swanson, 60, of Elizaville, NY, passed away on Monday, November 16, 2020 at her home after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born May 22, 1960, in Yonkers, NY, she was the daughter of the late Devaughn Westover and Clare Westover of Pennsylvania.

Susan married John Pearson on July 1, 1997 in East Fishkill, NY. John predeceased her on December 31, 2016.

Susan loved spending time at her "River High Estate" on the St. Lawrence River. But most of all, spending time with her many friends that were family to her and spoiling her grandson. Whether it was riding her motorcycle with her riding buddies, a night out on the town, or getting together with her "Bunco Bitches" and having fun. She truly knew how to live big in everything she did.

In addition to her mother, Claire, Susan is survived by her sons, Aj Swanson of Clifton Park, NY, and Tyler Swanson of Rotterdam, NY; her grandson Caleb Wes Swanson; her brother, Tommy Westover of PA; and her beloved pups, Sukie &Sadie; in addition to extended family and countless friends.
