Susan Lee (Greathouse) Schindler, 71, of Belton, Missouri, went to be with the Lord on February 10, 2025. She was born on June 8, 1953, in Kansas City, Missouri to parents Wanda and Alfred Greathouse. She attended Belton High School and married Sam Schindler on January 24,1970. Sam and Susan had two children, Samantha and Shon. Susan enjoyed crafting, aerobics, camping and going to the lake. She was a member of The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection. She battled illness for much of her life, but she always did what she could to help others, based on her faith in Christ. Susan said, “I did everything possible to help my daughter and family live their most free and best life”.

She joined in Heaven, her father and mother, Alfred Greathouse and Wanda (Greathouse) Blanton; her sister, Cathy Hartsock; her grandparents, Victor and Anna Halstead; and her grandson, Trent Schindler.
