Susie and Bob were junior high sweethearts and married in 1963. Susie graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelors degree and went on to earn her Master of Social Work from George Warren Brown at Wash U. After a short career in counseling, Susie owned and operated Village School. She volunteered her time and supported numerous charitable organizations, but her greatest joy was her family. She loved organizing family dinners and meticulously planning family vacations with dinner reservations arranged months in advance. Susie never missed an opportunity to spend quality time with her family and she will be forever missed and forever loved.
The family expresses their gratitude to the staff, nurses and doctors at Dolan Memory Care.
