She grew up in Titusville, Florida, when her father was working for the space program at Cape Canaveral. She attended Belmont University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree. Susan had a love for gardening, animals, and was an avid reader. She worked as a librarian in her later years before retiring to spend more time with family. Susan and Tom enjoyed active and adventurous travel. She enjoyed meeting monthly with her “Supper Club” friends, who have been meeting for well over 40 years.
