She had a great gift of creativity - whether it be in the kitchen, with power tools building furniture, clay sculptures, sewing, or with painting and collage. She loved the outdoors and all of nature’s delights, much of which you can see reflected in her artwork. Susan also had a great love for animals and treated them as part of the family.

Susan was one of a kind. With a unique outlook on life, she inspired others to also look at the world through their own lens. She lived a life full of creativity and wonder and with a great hunger for knowledge. She has touched many people’s lives through her art, her sewing, her conversations, and her nurturing spirit. She will be greatly missed by many.
