Susan Sheridan

Susan was born on March 1, 1958 in Brooklyn, New York. When she was three, her family relocated to Houston, Texas where she became a lifelong resident. However, Susan was always proud to remind people that she was born a New Yorker. Susan grew up in the Memorial area and graduated from Memorial Senior High School. She spent many years working for Spring Branch Independent School District and took great pride in raising her children.

Susan was truly one of a kind. She loved her family fiercely and was a dedicated Mom and Noni. Everyone who knew Susan knew she had the biggest heart and would do anything to help someone, especially her family and friends. She made friends wherever she went, always rooted for the underdog, and was an avid Wheel Watcher. She loved the ocean, chocolate éclairs, an extra, extra rare steak and spending time with family and friends. One of her favorite songs was Frank Sinatra’s My Way, and that was how she lived her life.

Susan is survived by her daughter, Nicole Vasek, son-in-law, Johann Odendaal, and grandson, Owen Odendaal, daughter, Jamie Nicholson and future son-in-law, Justin Berry, son, Robert Nicholson and daughter-in-law, Alice Vieville, nephew, Tom Roche and his family, and nephew, Nick Roche and his family. She is also survived by many close lifelong friends who will never forget her friendship. Susan is preceded in death by her brother, Mark Sheridan, father, Thomas Patrick Sheridan, mother, Julia Sheridan and sister, Julie Liles.
