She was raised in Midland and moved to Odessa where she remained for 20 years. On April 10, 1995, she married Clinton Stephan and they moved to Grandfalls. She was a homemaker and a farmer's wife. Susan enjoyed gardening, nature, animals, people watching, treasure hunting, Facebook, computer games, and anything outdoors.

She loved her family. Family was everything to her. She was a loyal, honest, hardworking and sometimes mouthy friend, mother, wife, grandmother, and neighbor. Everyone she met loved her and her wacky sense of humor. She was a very down to earth, humble, and straightforward person. She always had a way of making people smile and their days better. She loved and cared with her whole heart!
