A funeral service will be held on Monday, July 24, 2023, at 10 a.m. at Rushing-Estes-Knowles Mortuary followed by interment at Hillcrest Cemetery in Uvalde.

Susan was a lifelong member of the Uvalde community. A member of First Baptist Church, a rancher, business owner and a hard worker who always had a kind word for everyone.  Her smile was contagious and could light up a room.  When it came to being a mother, she was the self-sacrificing kind and loved her children with all she had.  She will be forever missed and in our hearts.
