Susan was a very talented and artistic woman. One of her favorite passions was making porcelain dolls.  She enjoyed teaching this hobby to those eager to learn from her.

Susan and her family were avid Oklahoma University football fans.  She attended many games with Melvin and continued this tradition after his death with her children.  Susan cherished her Boomer Sooner weekends with family during the college football season.
