She was preceded in death by her husband Michael Goldberg, parents Dr. Ralph and Marian Burnett and brother Ralph Burnett Jr. and his wife Patricia. She is survived by her son Adam, brother Dr. John Burnett and his wife Angelic, nephew Michael Burnett, niece Ashley Burnett as well as cousins Tom Seibly, Geri Lou Bolz, Kent Seibly and Kay Hussey.
Susan was born in Bakersfield and lived there until her recent move to Fresno. Prior to returning to Bakersfield Susan was a beach girl living in Hawaii, San Diego where she graduated from San Diego State University and Laguna Beach.
After moving to Bakersfield she and her husband Michael had a mortgage company that they ran until his passing. Susan was a bigger than life person and had many friends from high school and college that she kept in touch with.
She always had a joke or an off color story to share. Everyone could always rely on her for an uplifting conversation filled with wonderful memories and laughable times.
She had a strong interest in our family history and kept in touch with family members in the Shetland Islands and South Dakota.
The family would like to thank her friends who supported her in her last days, especially Paula (Hutson) and husband Wayne Aranaz.
The family would also like to thank Hospice of the Valley for all the love, kindness and gentle quality care they provided for our Sweet Beautiful Angel.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.whitehurstsullivan.com for the Burnett family.
