Susan loved her family and her dog, Ms. Bea. They were always put first in her life. For fun, she enjoyed going to the boat and playing poker, online poker and her scratch offs. She was rarely found without her cross-word puzzle book nearby. With only a high school diploma, she worked her way up in the ranks at the University of Notre Dame. After 43 years, she retired as the lead purchasing agent in the Biology Department. A memorial service will be held on Saturday at the McGann Hay, University Chapel, at 12:00PM.
