I worked alongside Susanne at Walmart before I moved back to the lower 48 this past summer. I am still in shock...I just found out about her passing. She was a great friend and coworker that was always there for you. Kim, I appreciate you returning my call under the terrible circumstance. "Mama cakes" I am sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. Susanne often talked to me about you and your husband. She will be greatly missed by my entire family and everyone else that knew her. I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with the family.

Attached is a photo I took of her at work for her December/Christmas 2019.

We don't know each other but I was sad to hear that Susanne passed away. I used to see her at Walmart in the electronics department. I was wondering what happened to her. Such a nice, helpful person. Praying for your family

Seems like I was a customer of hers where ever she worked over the many years. As a people person she broke the mold. God bless ya girl. My heart goes out to her family and friends. Give someone a smile today for Susanne. She'd like that.

Such a sweet lady, always smiling and so kind to all.
She could be so silly at times and make you laugh. So hard to believe you won't see her anymore at Wal-Mart, she was the most helpful employee, If you couldn't find something you were looking for, Go find Susanne ... she'd help you find it.
RIP Susanne, You will forever be missed,

(A nice bench out front of Wal-Mart would be a nice memorial for Susanne)

She was always a friendly face at Walmart, she would always stop my department and say Hi or give a smile and a wave as she passed by.
My condolences to her friends and family.

I worked with Susanne at Wal-Mart, we were part of the crew that was there even before it opened. She was always such a sassy, funny, and bright person. I enjoyed working with her and her being my friend. I will miss her laugh. I'm praying for her family.

Beautiful soul inside and out, may your light continue to shine down on those of us still here. You are missed and remembered with smiles on our faces, because YOU were never without a smile, hug, and, loving words of encouragement and support, even when you were struggling with your own problems. You live in our hearts and memories forever.

She was always so kind. She worked at Southside Video when I was a kid and used to go in there and rent movies. She always remembered me and and always said hi in passing. I will miss running into her.

I worked with Susanne at Wal-Mart for several years. She was such a great person, so friendly and helpful and fun. When she had to move to a place that didn't allow cats, my sisters and I adopted one of them, and I always felt like that created a special connection between us and Susanne. I got a different job several years ago, but I still saw Susanne when I shopped at Wal-Mart, and I always enjoyed seeing her. It's still hard to believe I won't run into her there anymore. Praying for her family!

You are missed. I can’t pass electronics at Walmart without thinking of you. You had such a joy of life. You were a ray of sunshine with your positive attitude.
