A Life of Service and Family

Susan’s commitment to her community extended through her outreach ‘greeting card’ ministry and her creative endeavors, including making memorial floral grave ‘saddles’.

On August 1, 1971, Susan married Danny Lynn Duncan, with whom she shared 30 years of marriage until his passing in 2002. Together, they nurtured a loving family, which Susan cherished deeply.

She is survived by her children, Paul Travis Duncan (Megan) of Paducah, Kentucky, and Brandy Duncan-White of Greenfield, Indiana. Additionally, she leaves behind three granddaughters, Alexis Flake (Trace), Savanah White, and Kayla Lopez (Anthony), along with two great-grandsons, Theo and Isaiah. Her siblings, Linda Schorr and Shirley Hillman (Douglas), both of Ossian, and Steven P. Double (Carla) of Litchfield Park, Arizona, also survive her.
