Linda Sue “Susie” Harris, 81, of Marion, went home to be with the Lord at 11:22 am, on Friday, March 7, 2025, at Stillwater Hospice in Fort Wayne. She was born on August 1, 1943, in Beech Grove, Indiana, to Hilbert and Frances (Bersot) Harris.
Susie lived on the west coast of Florida for many years before returning to her native Indiana for her “golden years.” She was extremely proud to have owned several renowned salons in St. Pete and Homosassa, Florida. Susie was a passionate person who dearly loved anything living; that was evident in the way that she invested her entire life in serving others. Her greatest joy was to help others thrive- be it plants, people, or pets. She always saw the best in every person, and situation. She was an avid reader, and had a great interest in ancestry. Susie was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and enjoyed keeping up to date with Fox News. Susie loved flowers, her family, and her cats. She will be missed by all who had the wonderful opportunity to love, and to be loved by her.
