Susan’s professional career consisted of working at St. John’s Mercy and St. Anthony’s Medical center in the Oncology unit, which she loved! Susan was a loyal and dedicated nurse who practiced compassion and empathy. Susan retired in 2008 after 41 years as a nurse.
Susan loved camping with her family and friends, playing bingo every Sunday, long drives with Leon, going out to dinner, dancing to her favorite sound Proud Mary and talking to Linda every single morning.

My sympathy to the family. I was a classmate of Susan’s at St. Johns.
My thoughts and prayers are with Leon & the family. I’m a St John’s Mercy classmate of Sue & we shared an apartment with three other nurses the year after graduation. We enjoyed many good memories together.
