For more than 20 years, Susan owned and operated the Blue Rose Beauty Shop, where she not only built a successful business but also formed lasting friendships with her clients. Known for her warm personality, attentive ear, and welcoming spirit, she made everyone who sat in her chair feel valued and cared for.
Susan was a devoted and active member of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church. Her faith was an important part of her life, and she served her parish as a Eucharistic minister and as a member of the Rosary Society. She found joy and purpose in her involvement with the church community and lived her faith through acts of kindness and service.
In her free time, Susan enjoyed crafting, a hobby that allowed her creativity and care to shine. She also loved traveling, especially the many trips she and her husband took to Florida in their R.V., creating memories that she cherished deeply. Above all, Susan treasured time spent with her family, whether gathered at home or camping together, where laughter, stories, and togetherness were always in abundance.
