Susan had a special passion for mission, leading teams in Honduras, Haiti, and, after Hurricane Katrina, Mississippi. She was also an instrumental leader in the Ambos Foundation, which provides educational and nutritional help in Honduras. Susan’s life was marked by determination.

Her life can be summed up by the words of a former church member: “She was one of the most wonderfully kind and thoughtful people I have ever met. I looked forward to her sermons at North Raleigh and can never thank her enough for presiding over my Nana’s funeral and my wedding.” Susan had a love for flying; the day she soloed was a memorable one for her.
