Born April 17, 1938, in Pottsville, she was a daughter of the late LeRoy and Thelma Batdorf Fritz.
Susie was a 1956 graduate of Pottsville High School and a member of St. Paul's United Methodist Church, Pine Grove.
She was a delivery person for Botts Auto Parts and then was a medical assistant and worked at Dr. Dolbin's office.
Preceding her in death were her husband of 54 years, Charles "Sonny" Hipp; two brothers, David L. Fritz and Charles "Sonny" Fritz.

All services and interment will be held at a later date in Indiantown Gap National Cemetery, Annville.
