Susan Ford Read

Susan Ford Read, age 59, died too soon on the morning of March 7, 2012. She was born on March 31, 1952 to the late Woodrow Ford & Louise (Sullivan) Ford. Susan graduated from Hillsboro High School in 1970, where she was constantly picked for playing the piano for school assemblies & all the choral productions. She graduated from MTSU in 1974, with a degree in Business & was a member of the Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority. Susan was smart, dependable, & organized when it came to business. She has been the co-owner of an electronic design company, Sine Systems, since the death of the Founder John Pate, in 1998. At one time in her life, she loved living in the country, having both a mule and a goat. Her love of animals brought her the most joy in life and she was a true mother to her pets, who will miss her terribly. Susan married the love of her life, Kenny, whom she met when they both worked at Tennessee Wheel, where they still have many friends. Kenny supported her through her first round of cancer, at age 32, going into remission until five years ago. Susan fought an unbelievably strong battle with cancer both times & never, until recently, missed a day of work due to chemo or treatments. She will be remembered for her positive attitude & her realistic, no-nonsense approach to life, as well as death. Left to remember her is her loving husband, Kenneth Read; Aunt Bettye & Uncle Jerry Waller & many cousins and friends who loved her. Her dear cousin, Little Jerry, passed away in 2004. Funeral Services will be held 2:30 p.m. Saturday, March 10, 2012, in Woodlawn’s Dignity Hall with Interment to follow in Woodlawn Memorial Park. The family will receive friends on Friday, March 9th from 4 p.m until 8 p.m. & on Saturday, March 10th, from 10 until time of services at Woodlawn-Roesch-Patton Funeral Home and Memorial Park, Nashville, TN.
