Susan spent most of her career as the Mammogram Technologist for Sutter where she touched the “lives” of many. She was often stopped in public places by patients to chat about breast health and/or life in general. An outing with Sue always ended with someone or other talking about boobs.Susan loved all things whimsical, and her yard decorations encompassed that to the fullest. From bowling ball caterpillars, glass art and fairy villages in the glen. Her life was surrounded by plants and flowers inside and outside her home. A favorite pastime of hers was to sit on her patio and drink tea to just enjoy the birds and flowers. Her hands were never idle as she loved to crochet. To love Sue was to know her love of Dragons, Giraffes and Flamingos. The first thing she did after retirement is to get those beloved animals as a tattoo.She is survived by her daughter Michelle and her husband Craig White along with their children Angel and Brian with his wife Jasper. Her youngest daughter Dove Smith and her children Christian and Tristien with her Husband Joseph Korn.
