Susan Darlene Fudge was born May 29, 1950, in San Diego, California, to William Chester and Dorris (Reagan) Fudge.  She grew up in Moorpark, California and later moved to Colorado Springs, where she lived with her mom until she died in 2003.  Susie then lived 15 years with a wonderful caregiver, Birgitta Zamora, until she retired in 2019.  Susie then moved to Hale Center to live with her sister, Sally and brother-in-law Terry Wright.

Susie asked Jesus into her heart and was baptized at the First Baptist Church in Moorpark, CA in 1969. She has loved Jesus and loved to go to church to hear about the Lord ever since.  She joined Jerusalem Community Baptist Church in Hale Center where her sister and brother-in-law pastor. She enjoyed singing and loved to sing the hymns at the top of her lungs with her "speaker" (microphone) and play the "jiggler" (tambourine).  Her church family loved her and she will be so missed.  Susie loved being a part of the Bible reads that Terry and Sally do on You Tube, showing off her "kids" (her many stuffed animals) on camera. She loved working puzzles, coloring, and watching Wheel of Fortune and Lawrence Welk with family.  She especially loved any man wearing a cowboy hat.

Susie made many friends when she came to Texas and it will be hard to forget her smile and love she had for everyone. She and Terry would go to Family Dollar, walk up and down every aisle, and bring home a new balloon. She loved going to the Fountain of Life Day Activity Center and spending time with her best friends. She enjoyed delivering Meals on Wheels with Sally, Terry, or friend, Karen McNeal.  Always in charge of the clipboard, Susie did a great job keeping them organized.
