Susan Kehl Obituary
Susan was born to the late James Thompson and Juanita (Short) Thompson. She was previously married to David Kehl, who also preceded her in death. Though they had divorced some years prior, David remained a part of her life story.
She was also preceded in death by her siblings Terry Thompson, Nancy (Thompson) Kubalanza, Beth Ann Thompson, and Ronnie Thompson, as well as her brother-in-law, Charles Kindermann, beloved husband of her surviving brother, James Thompson-Sanders.
Susan is survived by her loving son, Ryan Kehl, and three cherished grandchildren: Ryan Taylor Griffiths, Gage Ryan-Alexander Kehl, and Grant Keith-David Kehl. She is also survived by her dear brother, James Thompson-Sanders; her niece, Jessica James; and Jessica's son, Jaxson Jordan-all of whom held special places in her heart.
At Susan's request, there will be no services, viewing, or celebration of life. A private cremation will be held in accordance with her wishes.
She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by those who knew her.
