There are some people that enter our lives that are such a good time that
you cannot help but smile when you see them coming. Bright, always
cheerful and smiling, ALWAYS dressed to the nines, ALWAYS with her
little doggie, Tybee, Susie was that lady. When she walked into a room,
it was a flurry hurricane of hellos, hugs, flying kisses, settling doggie in
and making the rounds of the room like the hostess.
Susie and her husband, Dick, fell in love with Tybee many years ago and
made the move official in 2013. She loved this island! She loved being
here, meeting all the locals, as well as many people as she could. Her
dog, Tybee, was her absolute world and she spent a large fortune on her
doggie’s shoes and clothing. Yes. Shoes. Tybee (the doggie) wore better
looking shoes than most people. Susie was that lady. A little bit nutty. A
lot of fierce. Always making people laugh. Huge life of the party. If you
needed her, she was at your front door before you got off the phone.
Tybee Island did not even have enough time to spend with Susie. It is
truly a loss for our community and the world at large. Miss you, Lady.
See you when we are meant to see you.
