Publish in a newspaper
Susan loved visiting and spending time with her family and friends, and she was always ready for a card game or dominoes. She was an avid Cardinals Fan and enjoyed watching and rooting for her favorite player Yadi. She was a huge fan of the St. Louis Blues, college football, and the Kansas City Chiefs. Susan really enjoyed her estate sale outings, as much for the visits with Georgee and family as for the shopping.
She was preceded in death by her parents, William E. and Donna L. (Fritsche) Dawson; and husband, James "Jim" Barfield.
Surviving are her sister, LeAnn (Mike) Hampton of Troy, IL and brother, William J. Dawson of Troy, IL, nephews, Michael (Alexia) Hampton, Jared (Kristi) Hampton and Joshua Hampton; great nieces and nephews, Olivia, Cameron, Lilliana, Jackson, Savannah, Nicholas and Michael; great-great niece, Soleia; and special family friends, Jonah Crouse, Jenna Kuhner, Robin Williams, and John Shackleford.
Memorials may be made to St. Louis Mercy de Greeff Hospice House or Partners for Pets, Troy, IL. Online expressions of sympathy may be made at www.Richesonfh.com
Visitation for Susan will be held from 10 to 11 am on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at Richeson Funeral Home, Troy, IL, followed by services at 11 am with Rev. Dan Perry officiating. Interment will be in Friedens Cemetery, Troy, IL.
