Susan Marie “Susie” Nielsen Acerson
1952 - 2007
Surrounded by family, Susan "Susie" Marie Acerson passed without pain to a spiritual existence on April 20, 2007 to play with her favorite lab, Chaco.
She was born in Salt Lake City to Lenice L. Nielsen and Mary Irene Allard Nielsen (later, Wyatt). Susan was the third of four children, Carol Coles (Arne), Edward Nielsen (deceased) and Bill Nielsen (Donna). She married Steven Donald Acerson, the love of her life on Feb. 2, 1985, at the beautiful outdoor setting of Fisher Towers next to the Colorado River. They had met on a whitewater-rafting trip with her daughter Shannon Marie Smith (Shadow). They were later solemnized after a scary drive through a snowstorm in the Manti LDS Temple, March 3, 1989. She followed her heart to Green River and became a loving and caring mother to Teresa N., Brian S., and Summer Anne Acerson.
Her love for serving and caring for others found her working at various positions: emergency medical technician, senior citizens and home health. Then with continued education she received her registered nurse degree from College of Eastern Utah in Price.
As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she served in many callings. She enjoyed her opportunities to share her life experiences to guide and direct the youth.
Her life was filled with outdoor activities, which included whitewater rafting (guide), horseback riding through the mountains, chasing her dogs and husband across sage and sandstone. She became a full time member of the tadpole clan. Gardening and flowers were her passion and relief time.
Her little miracle in life arrived 20 years after her first child, at the age of 43. Alexis Brehan joined our family, with beautiful eyes, smile and an amazing voice. Two months prior she was blessed with a beautiful granddaughter, Kylie Marie (Pookie) Smith.
Preceded in death by first husband, David Willard Smith.
Viewing at Broomhead Funeral Home, 12590 S. 2200 West, Riverton, on Thursday April 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. Funeral at Elk Ridge at the 5th Ward Chapel, 450 E. Park Drive, on Friday, April 27 at 11 a.m., with viewing one hour prior to services.
