Susan Michelle Dowdy Bain, 51, was called to eternal rest on October 15, 2025, following a motor vehicle accident. She was born on January 14, 1974, in Tupelo, Mississippi. Susan's early life in Tupelo laid the foundation for her enduring spirit and commitment to education.

Susan's career at Trustmark Bank, where she served as Head Teller, was marked by dedication and excellence. Her professionalism was mirrored by a warm demeanor that made everyone feel welcomed and valued. Known in the community as the "Goat Lady," Susan not only raised and showed goats but also instilled in others an appreciation for these gentle animals. This passion was but one facet of her diverse interests. An avid reader, she found solace and adventure within the pages of her books. Crocheting allowed Susan to weave threads of love into tangible keepsakes for those she cherished. Susan's outgoing personality meant she never met a stranger. Her capacity to forge instant connections was unparalleled, opening her life to a multitude of friendships that lasted a lifetime. But it was her deep love for her family that shone brightest.

Together they shared an abundance of joyous moments, creating memories that will continue to bring comfort and smiles.
