She is survived by her husband of 65 years, Ray Susong; sons, Nicholas Fox Susong, of Gray, TN, Nathan Susong and wife Teresa, Gray, TN; granddaughters, Amy Jackson and Nathaniel, High Point, NC, Rachel Blevins and Chris, Blountville, TN; grandson, Weston Susong, Johnson City, TN; great grandchildren that she absolutely adored, Hope, Kennedy and Jake; along with several nieces, nephews and friends. Due to the current circumstances all services will be private.
