She served three years in the California National Guard in the early 1970’s and had a 35 year career with the State of California, predominately with the Food and Agriculture department, retiring in 2007. Susan was a beautiful person inside and out – very loving, generous, fun loving and full of life. Even during her battle she was always upbeat, positive and happy and never gave up hope. She loved her family with all her heart, and found great joy from time spent with grandchildren. She was very artistic and enjoyed flower arranging, gardening, shopping, and home decorating. She always loved singing, especially happy songs, and karaoke with her husband Mike brought her much happiness.
