Susan was a member of the Frostburg United Methodist Church where she sang in the choir for over 40 years. She will be remembered for her beautiful soprano voice. She served on many committees and enjoyed spending time with her church family.

She enjoyed traveling to many countries and most of the United States with family and friends. She especially loved the Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Teton Mountains. Trips to Illinois to visit the cousin’s farm and lake was another favorite destination.
