Ms. Susan L Graves

She was born April 4, 1954, in Covington, VA, the daughter of the late Oscar E. Humphries and the late Helen Humphries Etling.

Susan earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Loyola University in New Orleans. She worked at the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston Memorial Hospital and Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital where for 25 years she served as the hospital’s night shift supervisor. Her skill and passion for nursing were evidenced by those patients and families under her care.

Faith was always foremost in Susan’s life as she grew in her beliefs and Christianity as a member of College Park Baptist Church. She always enjoyed the fellowship with the members there, as well as the opportunity to use her beautiful voice in the singing of hymns.

She was a beloved wife, mother, sister and aunt who will be remembered for her selflessness and her generous love for her family. Her love of family also extended to her precious pets, particularly, Auggie, who she referred to as her “Little Boy.”
