Susan was born in Dallas, Texas, and came to CWJC by way of computer software engineering. She started teaching computer classes in 2013, with no intention of taking on any extra leadership roles. She is now so thankful God had other plans for her! Susan is married to David, and she is blessed with three stepchildren and three step-grandchildren. She also has two “fur babies,” Lucy and Rooby. Susan has two church homes, Asbury Church in Madison and Church on the Lake in Guntersville. She has served in lay-leadership with the Asbury Prime Timers for eleven years and counting, and she serves on the board for Church on the Lake, which meets Memorial Day through Labor Day. The lake is where she spends a lot of her free time; she loves being outdoors kayaking, hiking, or biking. Susan says she likes to “pray and play every chance she gets!”
