Susan's obituary

Susan "Lucy" Wimberley, known fondly to many as Lucy, yet preferred to be addressed as Susan, has passed away on September 6, 2024. Born on May 22, 1963, her warmth and love radiated from her soul and touched everyone she encountered in her lifetime.

Susan was a beacon of kindness and respect, consistently emphasizing the importance of treating others with dignity and consideration. Her every action embodied these values, making her not only a cherished family member but also a role model for those fortunate enough to have known her.

One of Susan’s crowning achievements was her role as a mother. Her loving and nurturing personality made her a natural in this role, and she poured all her energies into creating a loving, supportive environment for her family. Her dedication extended beyond her immediate family, touching all those within her sphere of influence with her warmth and kindness.

Susan's passing leaves a void in the lives of her beloved family members. She is survived by her mother, Carolyn Smith, and her siblings: sisters, Gail Wheeler and Pam Dethloff, and brothers, Gary and Mike Smith. Her spirit also lives on in her son, Stephen Bates, and her cherished granddaughter, Hermione Bates, whose lives will forever be influenced by Susan's profound love and guidance.

Susan's life was marked by genuine kindness, profound love, and a warmth that embraced all. She will be remembered not just as a wonderful sister, mother, and grandmother, but as a testament to the power of love and respect. Her legacy of kindness will continue to live on in the hearts and minds of all those who were privileged to have known her.
