SARBER, Susan Gayle

Passed away on May 4, 2012 at Holy Family Hospital.

Born on March 4, 1946 in Spokane, she graduated from North Central High School in 1964.

During Susan’s work years, she held a variety of jobs from secretarial to nursing, but her greatest joy was being a mother to her son Todd Sarber.

Susan enjoyed writing poetry and working on many craft projects to share with her friends.

She also spent many years researching and documenting her family genealogy.

She was preceded in death by her son Todd and her parents Albert and Eileen Griffith Sarber.

She is survived by her three brothers, Greg, Gordon and Richard Sarber, other family members, and special friend Brent Roundtree and his family who have been a great support to her through difficult times.
