Susan Martin Obituary
Our beloved, wife, mother, grandmother, and best friend Susan Lorraine (Christensen) Martin of Ferron, Utah passed away on Thursday June 4th, 2020 surrounded by family. She was born on June 30, 1953 to Aaron and Edith Beckstead in Cottonwood, Utah.
Susan was an avid lover of Disney and loved to travel. She had a contagious smile that carried on through life and warmed every room she walked into. She loved her family and friends to no end and would always welcome anyone with open arms and a warm hug. Susan spent a lot of her time appreciating nature and animals, she had a deep love for spending time in her back yard near her pond, admiring the hummingbirds. She met the love of her life, Bill, in Ferron, Utah; where they spent their golden years together. They would often spend their time fishing, gardening, and exploring the local scenery. Susan spent many years working for the Salt Lake County library system and loved to spend time reading and puzzling. She will be greatly missed by all.
Preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Aaron Beckstead and David Beckstead.
Susan is survived by: husband, William Martin; four children, Douglas (Angela) Christensen, Timothy (Jennifer) Christensen, Jenny (Billy) Johnson, and Laura (Michael) Russell; the father of her children, Douglas (Linda) Christensen; step-children, William Jr. (Tracey) Martin and Jason (Susan) Martin; 17 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; and brother, Jack Beckstead; all of whom she loved (and who love her) dearly.

t was an instant friendship and we knew we had found our sister. Thank you Susan for being there for me and for mom and dad. They loved you as much as I did. You brought something to my life that I didnt ever have...you taught me about friendship. Thank you for all of the wonderful road trips we got to take. Oh the hell we raised and the memories we made. You are going to be missed sweet sister, but thanks for sharing part of your life with me .
