Susie, as she was known to her family, was graduated from Jonesboro High School with the class of 1969. She attended Blue Mountain College in Mississippi and Arkansas State University, majoring in business. She worked in banking in Jonesboro, Dallas, and Little Rock for almost thirty years. She started as a teller at Mercantile Bank in Jonesboro while she was in college and ended as a branch manager and senior loan office for First Commercial Bank in Little Rock. She left banking to run her own business, a Curves fitness center at Otter Creek in southwest Little Rock. Susie loved people, animals of all kinds, cooking, and working in her yard. For some years she was active in her Capitol View neighborhood association.

Marshall Jr., her sister-in-law, Polly, and her nieces, Adison and Lara Harden, all of Jonesboro.
