Susie Deppner gained her angel wings on September 07, 2025. Susie was 59 years old. Susie’s life would seem too short to many, but those of us who were blessed to be touched by her understand that her existence and the imprint she left on our hearts and lives exceed the quantity of time that she stayed here. Susie was talented and adventurous in many aspects of her life. She was adept at entrepreneurial endeavors, known for her unwavering passion to help others, and an outgoing socialite. When Susie couldn’t be found in the house, she could be found in the backyard tending to her garden; she was very proud of the life that she could cultivate. She went from having a black thumb to having a gardener’s green thumb and was very proud of herself.
Her fondest memories she would talk about was spending weekends on the family yacht at the marina. She feared nothing. She even opted to be the first to go up in the parasail the family purchased. Her biggest desire was to skydive and go up in a hot air balloon. She did get her hot air balloon ride with her daughter and granddaughter.
She would always say that when she loves, she loves hard and fights hard for those she cared about. She was a relentless advocate who championed for her children to receive the best education they could get. Not a day went by where Susie didn’t talk about how much her children and grandchildren meant to her. Her family was arguably her most important achievement in life.
Susie was well travelled. She lived in many states and travelled overseas. She made friends everywhere she went and created lasting memories. She enjoyed travelling and seeing all the different parts of the United States.
Susie is survived by her loving soulmate, her children, grandchildren and countless friends. She was predeceased by her brother, Father, and Mother.
Susie’s radiance that she projected to all those around her, paired with her sense of humor and laughter will be dearly missed.
