She married John Arthur Eaves on October 20, 1907. They moved first to Lorenzo, Crosby County, Texas and bought a farm. In 1929, they moved to Petersburg, Hale County, Texas, and established a grocery store which was later expanded to include a hardware and general merchandise store. In 1949, John Arthur retired due to poor health and the store was turned over to his sons. John and Susan then moved to Hot Springs, Arkansas for a few months, then to Lubbock, Texas.

Two of their seven children, Horace Eugene Eaves and J. P. Eaves, died in infancy. Their other five children were Floyd Arthur, Loyd Howard, Billie Sue, Pansy Rae and Joseph Neil Eaves. Pansy Rae, wife of Thomas Ray Burtis, is their only living child at this time and there are nine living grandchildren and many great-grandchildren.
