I knew Susan when she worked for the government and more recently the Smith Group. I was truly shocked and saddened to hear about death. My condolences to the family and her friends.

I was so sorry to hear of Susan's passing. We were friends during high school in Wichita Falls. Susan impressed all of us then with her wit, intelligence and grace. It was no surprise to hear of her many accomplishments in her career and her life, and clear that her touch leaves a lasting impact on family, friends and colleagues. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all during this difficult time of loss.

I'm very blessed to have known Susan, and her family in the early 80s, and maintained a connection over the years. Susan was a wonderful person with a fiery tenacity to get things accomplished, without compromising her compassion for humanity, exemplified in her tender heart. Much like her father Dr. Paul Renton Senior, she was always willing to extend the hand to help others in their time of need. What a beautiful person inside and out with her flaming auburn hair, but a true heart of gold inside. Thank you Lord for sharing this outstanding individual, if only for a brief period of time, with us. And I take great comfort in knowing that she is in heaven with her sweet dad and mother, likewise as well, my beloved mother, and all of the Lord's lambs that have been called before us to that great promise land.

I knew Susan briefly through some business meetings as she was a client, but more importantly as a great and genuine person, fellow ginger, and was shocked when I heard the sad news today. She was a lovely women and her passing is simply terrible. My thoughts to her loved ones, friends, and family. She will be missed but not forgotten.

I knew Susan for the past four years. Her daughter, Samantha, and my daughter went to school together and are very good friends. Susan was such a wonderful mom to Samantha! It seemed they were always on the go from one pursuit to the next. I saw her at every school function, even when she had a flight out for business that very evening! Susan was a dedicated and loving mother. She will be so very missed. My prayers go out to Samantha and Stuart.

Our family had the good fortune to meet Susan and her family when Samantha was in pre-school and kindergarten. Susan was a lovely person in every way. She always had a smile and encouraging words to say. We will miss her very much. And we send our love to Stuart and Samantha. You are in our prayers.

May the promise at Isaiah 57:15 comfort your family during this sad time.

Susan was the consummate professional.  I knew her for almost 20 years and worked directly with her for at least 6 or 7.  I am fortunate to have had that opportunity and to have had her as a friend for these many years. My prayers and thoughts are with her family and especially with Samantha and Stuart.

I first met Susan when I was in high school in Wichita Falls. I  admit that I went to "The other high school" and was actually the enemy (not really), but we always teased each other. For the record, Old High lost to Rider all four years that I was in high school. I was also in the band program and Susan and I always ran in to each other at various combined band events. I also remember that Paul had been the Rider Drum Major, so Susan had impressive family credentials in the "band world". Susan always had an infectious smile and Susan could hold her own with even the "toughest male redneck". We both discovered "Kemp Street" and our paths crossed weekly. Before too long, I found myself hanging out in the driveway, visiting with Susan, and several other band kids from both Rider and WFHS. Susan was the Rider majorette and we often watched her practice in her driveway. Actually, I remember I was often a guinea pig several times when she was practicing her knives routine. Needless to say, we developed a friendship that continued from High School to the day Susan left us. Susan and I had similar/identical political views and we would often discuss various events on social media. My wife also attended Rider, so I have always enjoyed teasing my wife and Susan about the school rivalry. All I can say is that Susan was a "class act" and we all have lost a special woman, friend, co-worker, wife, mother, sister, and Aunt. I will always cherish the days of our youth, the CB radio games we played in Wichita Falls, and the memorable majorette performances this sweet girl with the red hair and infections bright smile brought to ALL OF US. God Bless you Susan. May you Rest in Peace. Our heartfelt condolences to Paul and family, Stu and Samantha.

My thoughts and prayers are with Susan's family and loved ones at this untimely loss.  It has been my honor and privilege to meet and to get to know Susan through our participation in the City of Fairfax Republican Committee where she worked in her quiet, tireless way.  Please accept my deepest condolences. Rest in peace, Susan.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss.  I worked with Susan and only knew her briefly, but knew immediately what a great person she was.  She will be missed by everyone whose life she touched.  God bless you all and comfort you through the days ahead.

Also have to mention what an accomplished equestrianist she was. She and my sister Joni loved to ride and compete. Lots of my childhood spent with Susan around (cherished memories). Prayers for her family at this difficult time.  Deanna Latour Rainwater

A shining light, Susan exemplified what it means to have "a life well lived."  Well done, Susan.  Our fervent prayers and sympathy to your family.  Rest in peace, dear Susan.
