On April 25th, 2025, the Lord called home his angel, Susan Jean Orndorff, a daughter, sister, niece mother, grandmother and a friend. Susan Jean Orndorff entered this world in Key West, FL on March 20, 1967. Susan is survived by her husband of 30 years Scott Orndorff, her three beautiful daughters Amber Smith, Elizabeth Turner and Lindsay Cooper also along with her mother Cheryl Hill, her brother Terry Moseley II, Uncle Russ and Aunt Lin Meinert and sister in life of over 40 years Chelsey Moore-Wright. Susan brought so much love, laughter, grace, and smiles to all. She was devoted mother and Grandma to six grandbabies Hailey, Sophia, Hendrix, Harley, Lauryn and Kendrick, who will forever keep her memory alive. She found great joy in spending time with her grandchildren. Her beauty was immeasurable, and her loving heart knew no bounds.
"In life, we loved you dearly, and in death, we still love you. In our hearts, you will hold a place no one ever will." Unknown
