CHARLTON, Susan Young

Susan Young Charlton 6-6-1936 to 6-4-2003. Our Susie was born in Omaha Nebraska, the youngest of four sisters, Gail, Daphne, and Diane. She graduated from Stanford University in 1958. She received a Master's degree in counseling from ASU in 1998. She married Kipp Charlton on August 15, 1959, and had four children, Paul, Cynthia, Gregory and Daphne. She managed to raise her family and still maintain an active presence in the community and church with grace & wit. Her great joy was her grandchildren, Jonathan, Kipp, Dede, Jessica and Christopher, but she continued to be involved in the lives of all her extended family. She was the consummate helper and giver who loved friends, travel and laughter. She would not want to be mourned, but rather remembered for her loving gifts. Our lives will be her memorial. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be sent in her memory to the Greater Phoenix Interfaith Hospitality Network, 546 E. Osborn Rd., Suite 13, Phoenix, Arizona 85012. A memorial service will be held Sunday, June 8, 2003 at 3pm at Scottsdale United Methodist Church, 4140 Miller Road in Scottsdale. Arrangements by Messinger Indian School Mortuary.
