Susan was a wanderer of sorts, traveling from Texas, Oregon, Arizona, and Illinois. She finally settled in Jewett to be around her children. Susan had a great impact on several teens working at a job in Tucson, Arizona. She was attracted to strays of all types, people and pets. She loved the underdog and felt compelled to help those in need after hearing their sad stories. If you ever heard her stories, you would hear about her fantastic life, including green bean fever, her pig farm, her ex- husband Ed Starwalt, her beloved Roger, and about many pets. She will be remembered for her feisty personality, her Chard Temper and will be missed by her friends and loved ones.
