When her children were young Susan played on a softball league, taught Sunday School, and was a 4-H leader. Susan enjoyed taking care of the elderly and worked for many years as the Director of Nursing at Oakland Heights Nursing Home. She raised many litters of kittens & grew great gardens of flowers and vegetables at her farm just outside of West Point.
