Susan had many things she loved and enjoyed. Her greatest love was her family, especially her granddaughter Aubrey with whom she shared adventures and much music and mischief.

She enjoyed modern music and dancing as well as traveling. Her favorite place to travel was Italy. She had a green thumb both indoors and out.
