She attended college at Saint Bernard in Cullman, AL, then went on to Texas Women’s University in Denton, Tx for her Masters. She worked at UT Southwestern in medical research and learned things that saved her husband’s life in 1978. She married Karl Mills on August 16, 1975, at First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas where she met him in the choir. She worked as a chemist for Desoto Paint and Jones-Blair among other companies and worked at Central Ambulance as an EMT for Hunt County.

Susan loved music and science but loved children and cats even more. She gave her all to not only her friends but even to strangers and was a phenomenal mom and Nana. She will be deeply missed, but we will see her again! She taught us how to be strong. We love you, Susie Q!
