Susan, we’ll miss your warm smile, kindness, and generosity. Thank you for being a wonderful part of our lives, and always lighting up our holiday parties.
We’ll always remember you, and Alan and the girls are in our thoughts and prayers.
With love,
The Huie-Smiths
On our family vacations, I recall how adventurous and brave Susan was. She loved to go zip lining and riding ATV's in Hawaii with Alan, Sophia and Olivia. She also encouraged my girls to give it a try. Susan also loved ending the day with Leonard's malasadas and shaved ice.
May you rest in peace Susan. You will be missed!
Love, Uncle Dave, Aunt Virg, cousins Rachel and Dana
I met Susan and her daughters on their 2017 mission trip to Portland. Even 8 years later after only spending a few days with her, I am still moved by her memory. I remember her kindness, positive attitude, servant heart, and love for the Lord. I pray her husband Alan, daughters Olivia and Sophia, and all those who love her find comfort in Christ.
Susan was a wonderful friend and sister-in-Christ. Our friendship goes back over 30 years. Along our journey, we encouraged each other in our faith, went on vacations together, and shared countless stories of parenthood - some good, some cringy, but it always ended with a lot of laughter. A lot.
Susan was always real and direct. Her smile would light up her eyes in welcome every time we got together. And, if she felt that you needed to hear something, she would tell you. That’s how much she cared, and it kept us growing in our faith and lives. Even in her illness, she never lost her trust in the Lord.
When I visited Susan during one of her stays at the hospital, in her usual forthrightness, she had asked me, “Jenny, why are you here?” Without hesitation, I told her it was because she was important to me. I could see it in her eyes that it was the right answer and what she needed to hear. We went on that day to laugh together for another few hours. I am so thankful for our friendship, our love for one another, and our shared joys. Susan, I will miss you so much, and I know that someday we will see each other again.
One of my most cherished memories with Susan was when we began growing in Christ together during choir practices. Her encouragement meant so much to me as I was new to FLCC. Those choir sessions led me to join the worship team, where I continue to serve to this day. Susan's passion and strength were truly inspiring—she always spoke her mind and remained dedicated to her beliefs, even while serving in the Reserves on the weekends.
I’ll never forget our carpool rides after my company relocated near Visa. Those drives were filled with meaningful conversations about life, work, and even her excitement when she started dating Alan. It was an incredible surprise and honor when Susan asked me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding. She considered me a sister, and I felt the same, especially since I grew up with three older brothers—it was wonderful to have a “sister” in her.
Though life took us in different directions and we saw each other less often, our “check-ins” always reminded me of the bond we shared. Susan will forever hold a special place in my heart. As difficult as it is to say goodbye, I find comfort knowing she’s now free from pain and in a better place. Until we meet again, Susan—you will always be loved and remembered.
