1948 to Jack and Margaret (Brayton) Srader in Indianapolis
Susan was an executive secretary for G.E.in New York
and then organized charity bicycle events & competitions for Tour De Tucson
enjoyed life and loved to make people laugh
Sue combined her love for doing puzzles and musicals
by having a puzzle competition every night with her sister while singing musicals.
wrote: “One thing I will always remember about Grandma is her Joy
Her laughter is so infectious and fills the space she is in
She reminds us all to not take life so seriously
Sometimes it truly is better to just let things go and keep focused on yourself rather than to be consumed by conflicts and drama
talking about anything and everything under the sun
even things we probably should not have talked about
Some of them push the bounds of legality and I don't wish to offend anyone
we were close and sometimes maybe a little too close
But I cherish every second and I wouldn't change anything at all
except maybe the fact that I did not spend enough time with her growing up”.
What a wonderful tribute to such a beautiful woman
Sharon Allman and Betsy (Mark) Macke; step-daughter

Susan was preceded in death by her husband
Elizabeth Laughlin; and her brother-in-law
