So sad for all. Susie was a beautiful funny lady. I loved her humor!
Thinking of all of you. Such a lovely lady! Love the picture with her beautiful smile. We knew Susie mainly because my mother, Doris Blevins, spoke so highly of her. They had such fun together being the “lunch Ladies”. She certainly made a difference and will be missed by many.

So sad to hear of Suzie’s passing. Her laughter was contagious and my family spent so much time and creating so many wonferful memories with your family that will never be forgotten. Memories of her still warms my heart as so many others who knew her. Quite the lady.
I wish I gotten to her well she was my father’s sister his name was James Claudius Raybern Jr.
✝️ May a Peace of mind and soul comfort you at this difficult time. Memories of your Mother fills my heart with joy and appreciation for the honor of knowing that beautiful lady. Sharing laughter, advise, and love with Linda, Pam, and myself as we grew up.
God and those that passed before her listen and rejoice as the angles sing at her glorious return home.
