Susan Dawn Bussio Devey 71, passed away on January 2nd, 2026 at home surrounded by her family after a short courageous battle with Pancreatic cancer.
Susan was born August 8th, 1954 in
Provo, Utah to Joyce Iverson and Adrian (Curly) Kenney, and was later adopted by Lawrence Bussio.
Susan grew up in Orem, Provo, and American Fork Utah. She attended American Fork High School where she graduated. After graduating she attended beauty school in
Provo, Utah at Mary Kawakami's College of Beauty, where she graduated and became a beautician. She loved doing hair. She married her 1st husband in 1974. Together they had 4 amazing children, Jennifer, Brandon, Jason and JoElle. They later divorced.
Susan's true love and best friend found her while she was working at Naugles in American Fork. They married each other September 21, 1989. This is where their amazing lives and adventures began, oh the adventures they shared. They loved to travel with their children early on in their years together. Going to skeet shoots all over in different states. Yellowstone, White Water Rafting the Snake River in Jackson Hole Wyoming, Horseback riding, Yearly trips to Bear Lake, Utah, Motorcycle rides, Timpanogos Cave, and more. They continued their travel adventures through the years after the kids were gone. Camping up at Silver Lake campground, Wendover Trips, Mesquite, Quartzsite Arizona every January, and their favorite place, their cabin in beautiful Wyoming. They shared many years of love, laughter, jokes and travel, and are reunited again.
Susan had a deep love for her family and enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren who were her everything. If you were visiting while her grandchildren and great grandchildren were there you could find them on her lap or cuddled up next to her reading them books, which she and they loved to do. Susan loved getting together, whether there was an occasion or not. She loved going to the movies and her popcorn with lots of butter. Susan loved getting together on holidays as well. Her favorite times spent with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were going to Bear Lake, Utah every year for the last 40 plus years, playing games, oh the games we played, swimming, hot tubing, walking to the beach and playground, glow in the dark miniature golf, shakes, and hikes. She loved Christmas, the decorations, lights, and especially her Christmas Eve tradition of gathering together, the food, jammies and her tree! She loved and cherished every moment she got to be with her family as they were and still are her greatest pride and joy.
Susan is survived by her loving children Jennifer (Kevin Heaps) Robinson, Brandon (Kelly) Robinson, Jason Robinson and JoElle (Curtis Heaps) Robinson her loving stepchildren Steven (Deb) Devey, Stephanie (Dave) Tanner, and Ryan Devey. 25 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
Susan was preceded in death by her loving adventurous husband Lee Devey, and oh what a reunion they had. Her parents Joyce and Lawrence Bussio, grandson Ian William Heaps (son of Jennifer Nad Kevin), and her in laws Don and Lorna Devey.
