Though physically limited by her struggles she never let it hold her back mentally. She loved school and completed college courses with high honors, made quick friends with anyone she met and several lifelong friends along the way. She had a very kind heart and was always worried about the well-being of those closest to her more than she was herself; especially her Grandma Judy, who loving cared for her the majority of her life. Anyone around Susie could feel the presence of angels. Susie had a zest for life and strived to live her life to the fullest.
