She was born, Susan Ray Palmer on May 10, 1954, to Ray and June McMurtry Palmer in Amarillo. Susan was reared in Clarendon and graduated from CHS in 1972. She attended the University of Oklahoma but was called home, mid-semester, to ailing parents. She then attended Clarendon Junior College and earned her Associates in Art. She married the “love of her life”, Lonny Brown, on June 6, 1975. They soon made their home in Groom and “Suebee” quickly became the favorite of many! They welcomed daughter, Kori Page, in January 1981 and son, Lonny Kade, in October 1988.

Susan sold cars for Chamberlain Motors for many years and was office manager for Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), in Groom for 20 years, retiring in 2013. She then followed her love of retail and worked for A New Look; Buttons, Bows, & Balloons, in Panhandle, until she fell ill. Susan was a people person and made friends wherever she went. She was the first woman elected to Groom’s City Council, serving many years. She was a member of Alpha Mu Xi chapter of Beta Sigma Phi service sorority and TxDOT’s women’s organization ADWIN. She was most excited in life about her soon-to-be Grandma status.
