Obituary for Susie Mae Edmonds
On Monday morning, October 8, 2018, Susie M. Edmonds fell asleep in death peacefully at her home in Blackstone, VA. Susie was born May 28, 1936 to Alexander and Ella May Scott. Her education was very important to her and she successfully completed her high school education at the age of 50.
