very strong in her faith

and was active in the

playing the bass guitar

and flute in Women’s

Susan worked many

jobs while the boys were

in school, ranging from

favorite job was managing

the family and creating a

home for her family and

sharing the love of Jesus.

puters, cooking, gardening
