In addition to her parents, Susie was preceded in death by brothers, David and Larry Spotts, and her sister, Martha Stevens.
Susie was a unique and strong willed person. In her sophomore year in high school, she was diagnosed with polio. Though she battled this life-long illness, you would never know it. She persevered and overcame the odds and managed to have a very fulfilling life. She raised two children and helped raise four grandchildren. She enjoyed many things in life, such as camping, traveling, watching America's Funniest Videos, and staying up-to-date with everyone on Facebook. She loved going shopping, looking at antiques, and "spending Bill's money". Susie was a devoted wife and mother. She loved her grandchildren and loved being a grandma and was a loyal and faithful friend.
