Susan was raised in the towns of Windham and Uncasville, CT.  She graduated from NFA in 1952.  Susan always spoke fondly of her upbringing with her loving parents and protective older brothers (Ralph and John). Susan was a wonderful pianist. She started playing piano as a young girl, and went on to be the Organist for the Jewett City Baptist Church and in her retirement, she played piano for the Jewett City Senior Choir.  She received her Master's Degree from Eastern CT State University and retired as a Home Health Aide. Susan was a kind, sweet, free-thinking naturalist that always offered a kind ear and positive outlook.

Susan leaves behind her heartbroken children; son Kerry Lee MacLachlan (Safford, Arizona) and daughters, Laurie Susan (MacLachlan) Pheiffer (Norwich, CT), Debie Anthea MacLachlan (Bolton, CT), and Bonnie Stella MacLachlan (Scotland, CT).

Along with her sister-in-law Ruth (Perkins) Sweet, and many adoring nieces and nephews.
