Susie Evelyn Allen, age 63, of Nashville, Tennessee passed away on Tuesday, January 10, 2023. Susie was born Thursday, December 17, 1959 in Nashville, Tennessee and is preceded in death by her father, Earskin "Fuzzy" Oldham; mother, Molly Kirby Vaughn; step-mother, Dotty Oldham and step-father, T. W. Vaughn.
Susie was a strong and hard-working woman. She left school at a young age to help support her step-mother. She worked many jobs throughout her life, including customer service, operating and managing auto sales for many years, and owning and operating a meat and three restaurant in Nashville for several years. Health reasons forced her to close the restaurant, but her love of cooking remained. Her toughest job was being a military spouse, but her most favorite job was being a Nana. She loved living life and living in the moment. She had many hobbies, but was extremely fond of the racing she performed at Highland Rim Speedway in the 90's. She was fearless, feisty, and full of life. She will never be forgotten.
Susie is survived by her husband of 20 years, Philip Allen; children, Steven (Lynn) Rogers, Michael (Taylor) Rogers, Jenny (Shawn) Heable, Rachael Allen; grandchildren, Aubrey, Dalton, Collin, Jaxon, Kinsley, Willow, Braxton, Emma, River and Deana.
