From childhood to early adulthood, Susan was valedictorian of her high school class, a wonderful musician, high school majorette, and a devoted older sister to her two brothers. She married the love of her life David Larry Estep at the young age of 21 after dating for only four months.
"Susan worked for 20 years as a Registered Nurse specializing in pediatrics. She loved her work with children and later had two boys of her own. Susan and Larry moved 19 times throughout the United States, and their marriage was filled with wonderful memories of traveling and making lifelong friends over the years.
"Susan had the kindest soul, she never met a stranger, and she always had a smile on her face. She was an avid baker and amateur poet. She enjoyed the love of God, her husband, her family and friends.
"Susan leaves behind her husband of 55 years David Larry Estep, her son David (Melanie) Estep of Huntsville, AL, her son Bret Estep of Birmingham, AL, and her four grandchildren: Jackson, Caroline, Gage, and Hatcher, to whom she was 'Nana'.
