Susan was born on December 20, 1953, in Jackson, Michigan, the daughter of Richard and Gladys (Russell) Pritchard.

In addition to raising her own family, Sue cared for and changed the lives of countless foster kids for over 10 years, all of whom she held close to her heart. She also owned and operated Oil City Small Mall Pizza for many years.
