She was born January 23, 1965, In Latrobe, PA. Susan grew up in Indiana and was the youngest of five children and often found herself amid an adventure.

Susan loved her cats, fishing, outdoors, long drives but mostly she loved spending time with her grandkids, nieces and her special great niece, Emmy. Susan was a “shirt off her back” woman and mother and she will be greatly missed.
