Susan loved her cat, animals, wild flowers, and travel, especially when she could go to the mountains.  She was an exceptional cook with her roast beef being her specialty.  She loved her family deeply and loved to teach them games they could all enjoy playing together.   Susan was considered by most to be a very sweet person, but those closest to her knew she could get rowdy.  She will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her.
