Susan graduated from Wittenberg University in 1967 with a degree in elementary education.  She touched countless lives as “Mrs. Sue”, teaching for over 40 years, first in Columbus, Ohio and then at Benton Elementary School in Benton, KY.  So many former students have blessed her family with stories of how much they loved her and remembered her as one of their favorite teachers.
 
Sue was a member of Crossroads Methodist Church in Calvert City, KY.
