Susan Daffer Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 27, 2025.
Susan Gholson Daffer passed away in hospice care on October 21, 2025. She is survived by her husband Bob Daffer, and her daughter Allie. Bob has 3 children, Ben, Rachel and Stephen. Susan was a beloved nana to Rachel's 3 children. Susan also has 4 siblings: Beverly, Linda, Alex and Mary Ann; along with their spouses, children, and grandchildren.

Susan was born on February 24, 1956. She was a lifetime resident of Atlanta. She attended Sarah R. Smith ES, Dykes HS, and UGA. Susan had a successful career as a marketing manager in the restaurant industry.

Susan had a deep passion for life and the people she loved. Adventurous and always "all in," she filled every room with her energy and beautiful smile. She enjoyed many interests: gourmet cooking with her beloved daughter Allie; tennis teams; book clubs; traveling; gardening; and chasing music. She was a rabid Bulldog fan, and danced the night away enjoying at least 13 Rolling Stones concerts over the years!

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 11AM, in the Chapel at Peachtree Road Methodist Church. Susan was a faithful lifetime member! She will be greatly missed by everyone. RIP, sweet girl! Daffer, Gholson, Susan Gholson
