Susan Syble Stalnaker Antala, born on February 2, 1971, in Shreveport, Louisiana, passed away Thursday, May 4, 2023. A cherished wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and best friend; Susan loved, embraced, and accepted all those that crossed her path, regardless of their walk of life.
One to live her life with a bit of flair, Susan was always up for a spontaneous trip, concert, or a new pair of sassy shoes but there was also a softer side of Susan. A side that enjoyed antiquing and cactus gardening. A side that enjoyed a relaxing evening at home playing Scrabble, and above all else, a side that enjoyed spending time with her closest family and friends and always ensuring that those around her felt loved.
