Susan was deeply involved in her church community, especially in the Ladies Ministry at Rockawalkin Church, where she shared her faith and kindness with others.
From a young age, Susan was full of life and laughter. She loved spending time with her friends, hanging out, having girls' nights, and riding around together making memories.
