She was pre-deceased by her son Richard Stanton Charlton, grandson David Allen Drain, Jr., and son-in-law David Allen Drain. Susan lived life to the fullest, enjoying her home, family, and friends. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, sewing, and baking.

Her faithful, loving caregiver and dear friend, Beverly Mougeot, was a gift to her whole family as well as Susan.
