Susan Schramm Obituary
March 26, 1945 - October 13, 2022
Susan Gayle Lewellyn Schramm, age 77, of Clemmons, NC, died on October 13, 2022.
Susan was a 1963 graduate of East Forsyth High School and a 1966 graduate of Charlotte Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. She worked as a public health nurse at the Forsyth County Health Department for over 30 years. She was a deeply dedicated nurse, serving our public schools and the Spanish language community and managing an intensive home visiting program for fragile newborns. She received the 1992 Volunteer Award from the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Council of Forsyth County, and served as a nurse at the Samaritan Clinic for the Homeless and My Aunt's House.
She was also an avid cook and host, welcoming friends and family to her home and sharing holiday candy and cookies for many years. She and her husband loved playing and watching tennis and socializing with their tennis teams. She also enjoyed the beach, mountains, and visits with family and friends.
Susan was preceded in death by her parents, Maurice and Frances Lewellyn; and her brothers, Philip, Barry, and Leroy Lewellyn. She is survived by her husband, John Schramm of Clemmons; sister, Carolyn Harrison of Winston-Salem; brother, David Lewellyn and his wife, Camilla, of Walkertown; two children, Nicole Schramm Sapyta of Durham and Christopher Schramm of Winston-Salem; son-in-law, Jeffrey Sapyta; and grandchildren, Jack and Audrey Sapyta of Durham. The family is deeply grateful for the care provided by the dedicated staff of Clemmons Village I in Susan's final years.
The family will host a celebration of life for Susan on November 5, 2022, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Vogler's Funeral Home, 2849 Middlebrook Drive, Clemmons, NC. All are invited to bring a fond memory of Susan to share at that time.
In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to the Alzheimer's Association.

I am so very sorry to learn of Susan´s passing. I have such fond memories of playing tennis with her. I also had the good fortune of working at Carter High School with her as the school nurse. Her always caring nature and beautiful smile and laugh is what I remember about her. Prayers and love to Susan´s family.

I knew Susan in high school and was reunited with her many years later when John and I worked together. The last time I saw her was when the four of us had dinner together at her favorite Italian restaurant. She was always delightful to be around, playful yet highly intelligent. She'll be rewarded in heaven for the work she did here on earth, and may God be with her always.

Sincere sympathy! Susan and I were Girl Scout leaders together decades ago, and she made the experience a fond memory for the girls and me.
