Susan Fleming Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Girdner Funeral Chapel - Yreka on Dec. 3, 2025.
It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of our dearly departed Sue.
Sue passed away in Yreka, CA after relocating from Pasadena, CA to Mt. Shasta, CA earlier
this year. She was born and raised in South Pasadena, CA, attending school in South
Pasadena but graduating from Temple City High School.
Sue had a love of nature, some of her favorite places being the beaches of Laguna, Ventura
and Mendocino, as well as, Lake Arrowhead in the San Bernardino mountains. She
appreciated flowers and beautiful gardens. She loved all things with fur and is survived by her
cat, Shady. Sue's other great love was music. She was a rocker at heart, a self-described
hippie and attended many great concerts over the years.
Sue was very intelligent, thoughtful and a deep thinker with a mellow, helpful nature. She also
had a silly side and a sarcastic sense of humor. She loved people and loved to laugh. Sue
was fun-loving and rebellious, with teenage and young adult years full of shenanigans with her
friends. She had a big heart and spent some of her adult life as a caregiver and counselor.
She now rests in God's arms, along with those who have gone before her, including her
parents, Harold and Clara Hartsough, and her best friends, Steven and Mary Ann.
Sue is survived by her brother Daniel, his wife Karen, and a niece and nephew.
