She had previously served the community as a crossing guard for South Bend Community School Corporation for 20 years. Susan attended St. Anthony de Padua Catholic Church in South Bend.

Susan was an avid reader, who read several books a week. She also enjoyed sitting out on her back deck to admire the outdoors. Every night, she enjoyed feeding pretzels to her grand-dog, Zoe. Susan was a very kind and loving person who made friends wherever she went. She was also proud to be a cancer survivor, following her treatment for lung cancer. The family would like to thank Michiana Hematology Oncology and Dr. Ansari for the extra years they got to spend with her.
