Susan graduated from Concord High School in 1963, attended Bethel College, and was employed as a machine setup technician for Switches in Goshen and then Logansport until her retirement in 2006. She enjoyed stock car racing, attending concerts, traveling, watching birds and butterflies in her yard, and keeping in touch with her family and friends.
