Susan was one of the people I admired most in my life. She and I were very close in elementary school. She was great fun and so kind and thinking of others. I did not realize she had passed until this site. I was so looking forward to seeing her again.
What can I say about Susan except that she was one of the truest friends that I have ever had. She had a heart of gold and loved life even though she had been dealt some crummy blows. Her mom died at a very young age leaving her to be mother to her younger sister and caretaker of her dad and older brother. She suffered lifelong back pain from severe Scoliosis as a young girl which left her in a full body cast for 8 months. She nursed a sick husband for years and never complained once. I met her in 10th grade and we kept our friendship going until her death. She was a loving friend, wife and confidant who was taken too soon. I miss her every day but know that she is in a better place. Looks, money and social status meant nothing to her and she would drop everything to help someone she loved.She did that for me when I made her be my roommate when I moved to Dallas and told her I hated living alone. She laughed, cried and remembered everything about you, and never held a grudge.
She was 54 when she died and so that would have been the spring of 2005. Her 2nd husband of 4 years was the one who called us when she died. I was so shocked and saddened. We attended her funeral in New Braunfels. Many tears were shed, but we celebrated her life because that is what she would have expected.
To Carolyn Spears Harris, your writing of Susan Watford touched me so much...it brought back memories and yes, she was gentle and true... I am saddened by learning of this tragic loss...and thank you Carolyn for your precious tribute to her.
