Susana era conocida por su espíritu alegre y su amor por el baile. Tenía una forma especial de tomar a las personas de la mano y llevarlas a la pista de baile; una vez que les sonreía, decir que no nunca era una opción. Su mayor felicidad era pasar tiempo con sus queridos nietos, quienes eran la luz de su vida.

Trabajadora del campo dedicada y esforzada, Susana consagró su vida a proveer para su familia. Trabajó largas horas bajo el sol con una fortaleza, humildad y perseverancia admirables, siempre poniendo las necesidades de sus hijos y nietos por encima de las suyas. A través de sus sacrificios y su amor inquebrantable, enseñó a su familia el verdadero significado del trabajo duro, la resiliencia y la entrega desinteresada. Su legado vive en los valores que inculcó y en el amor que brindó generosamente.
