Susan Kesselring, 59, of Port Charlotte, Florida, graduated into the loving hands of Jesus on July 16, 2025. Susie is survived by her loving husband, David Kesselring.

Susie was David's everything: his partner, best friend, lover, companion, the biggest gift God could have given on this earth, and beloved wife. Together, Susie and David shared 34 years of laughter, love, and cherished memories. Susie had a sweet, loving personality that touched everyone she met.

Susie was born in Arcadia, Florida, on July 24, 1965. She was a devoted professional and her career was a great source of pride. She loved helping her customers and received many compliments. She was also passionate about gardening, crafts, and family.

Susie's love extended to her family. She was a loving mother (most important in her life) to her son Jeffery Crouch; a loving sister to Sandra Dolloff and Billy, Larry, and Tommy Crouch; and a loving aunt to Destiny Lott, whom she always considered a daughter.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Patricia Worley, and stepfather Jerry Worley.

David's favorite comment from Susie was, "I love you more than I did yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow." She will be missed by her husband more than words can express.

Susie's love for her husband, family, and friends will be sorely missed. Knowing that Susie is absent in body but in the loving hands of Jesus brings much comfort and joy in the midst of loss. Susie is happy beyond imagination, fully healed and just waiting to see us again.
