Susie was a Christian with a strong faith. A member of her church for 50+ years, she originally attended Robert Street Church of God. The church grew to later become Arlington Street Church of God, where Susie was a Deacon. She loved her Reverend(s) Diana Swoope, Ronald Fowler, Sr. and Jr., her church and church family. Susie worked as a meat wrapper for Acme Market, retiring after 35 years. In typical Susie fashion, she couldn’t sit still so began sharing her heart and faith as a greeter at Stewart and Calhoun Funeral Home. Her hobbies included gardening, cooking, and traveling. She was known around the Akron area for her beautifully manicured yard and won the Beautification Watch Award of Akron multiple years. In her younger years, she loved playing basketball and dancing, especially with her brother, Junior. She was also an amazing speller. Susie was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
