Susan married Clifford F. Brown on May 18, 1980, and thus welcomed the addition of Cliff’s two daughters, Cindy and Danielle.
Susan enjoyed driving semi-truck and creating small business adventures. In addition, Susan and Cliff started a carpet cleaning business and an advertising business. Susan worked as the office manager for a private physician in Miles City. Prior to retirement their last adventure was Brown’s Pilot Car Service.
Susan’s life was always full of adventures. She loved to socialize, cook, and have big family gatherings. Susan loved to smile and laugh. She was known to be a caretaker and had a knack for getting things accomplished.
Susan had been in Rosebud Health Care Nursing Home in Forsyth from 2013 thru 2015. Our family moved Susan from Eastern Montana over to Elk Horn Health and Rehab in Clancy, MT in June of 2015. In mid-2016 we moved Susan to Big Sky Health Care Center in Helena, MT. Our family is grateful to each of these facilities for their compassion and care.
Susan always had a strong faith in the Lord. She has a large family that loved her dearly.

Cliff, Cindy, Danielle–thinking of you. It is so difficult to lose a loved one. Susan was a great lady. I have fun memories of hanging out with Cindy and Susan introducing us to professional wrestling on TBS when we were in the 5th grade…what a laugh!!! Much love and big hugs to all of you

I met Susan in Junior High School. She had just moved from Colorado, and we became good friends. She was always full of fun and we and the bunch we ran around with always made life interesting. She always had a smile and hug whenever we ran into each other. I know she will be missed so much by her family and friends and I will always remember “our adventures” with a giggle or two. May the Peace of God surround all of you as you say “good bye” for now, to this sweet lady.
