She was a former teacher at Woodland Elementary School in Gages Lake, IL for 35 years. She will be remembered as a firm and consistent disciplinarian and at her retirement reception, she was complimented by many parents for the positive effect she had on their children, who were by then about to embark on their respective college experiences. Away from her career, Susan emulated her mother as a capable seamstress, also learning quilting. In addition to other hobby interests, she joined her husband in amateur radio activities, and convinced him to join her in horseback riding.
