To Susie's friends and family,

I am sorry for your loss.   Susie and I worked together in Oregon city management.  I had the privilege of presenting her with the Oregon City/County Management President's Cup while she was with Gervais.  She was a gift to the communities she served.

From the City of Monmouth:  This was posted on Wednesday, August 20th.  I ordered flags at half-mast starting at 9 am. 

Today, the city staff of the City of Monmouth is mourning the loss of their friend and co-worker, Susie Marston. Susie was the City of Monmouth Finance Director for just a few years but her career in public service spans decades. She is known for her leadership and her kindness; traits that she consistently carried no matter where in the state she was serving.

Staff at the City of Monmouth knew her as a silent warrior. She brought beauty, levity, and grace to any situation. She will be missed for her ability to calm a room with her presence while at the same time, lighting it up with her smile.

City Hall, Monmouth Public Works, Monmouth Police Department, Monmouth Senior Community Center, Monmouth Power and Light, and the Monmouth Public Library will be flying their flags at half-staff today to honor Susie, what she meant to the City of Monmouth, what she gave in public service, and who she will forever be to the people who knew and loved her.
