She was known for her love of puzzles, punning, exploring caves and auto touring across the United States, always seeking new sights and quiet adventures. Her hobbies included science fiction, gardening, cooking, volunteering for veterans, and a special fondness for carousels.
She was preceded in death by her parents; sister-n-law Carolyn (Johnson) Christopher, and brothers -in-law Edward and Harry Johnson.
Susan is survived by her husband, Clyde; her niece, Allison (Johnson) Dalton, and husband, Chris, of England, and their daughter, Katey; and other beloved cousins, nieces and nephews; two sisters-in-law, LaDonna and Esther, of CA; and her brother-in-law, Art, of Texas.
