Susan Jo Kester was born 22 May 1942, in Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County, California. Her parents are Virgil Maynard Kester Sr. and Myrtle Irene Bailey.
Susan "Susie", was the second child born into the family, of what would be four children. Her older brother was Virgil "Pete" Maynard Kester Jr., her younger sisters are Martha "Saucy" Lee Kester Paradise Burns and Mary Leonie Kester Johnson Espino.
Susie was a lifelong resident of Santa Cruz County. She grew up in Santa Cruz, attending school at Holy Cross, grades first through twelfth, graduating high school in 1961. She went to work at the family business, Kester & Son Paving and Grading, working in the office. Susie later entered the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows. After leaving the order, Susie kept a very close relationship with the Sisters. Susie went on to work for another family business, Kester's Flowers, on Soquel Drive near 41st Avenue. Sue returned to school, becoming a certified Nurse's Aide. Besides all her work, she volunteered her time driving the Sister's and others to doctor appointments and other errands for them. Like other family members, driving was fun for Susie, so this was something she enjoyed to do.
