Born on Nov. 8, 1942 in Morenci, AZ, Susie grew up with a profound love for her Catholic faith and a deep connection to her church community. Throughout her life, she found solace, strength, and inspiration within the walls of her beloved church.

Above all, Susie cherished her role as a mother, and her love for her family knew no bounds. She was the heart and soul of our family, and she will be deeply missed.
