Susan Wright Shafer, of Green Valley, Arizona, passed away June 17, 2015, at the age of 73.
Susan leaves behind her son, Michael; his wife, Kathy; their daughter, Dee Ann; her nephew, Greg (Susan) Wright; her cousin, Bob Spray; and many grandnieces and nephews.
Susan was born on Dec. 6, 1941 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to George and Bernece Wright. Susan grew up on a farm in the Fort Wayne area. She attended and graduated the Ferry Hall High School in Lake Forrest, Illinois, in 1960.
She received a Bachelor of Education in 1967 and a Masters of Education in 1969 from Saint Francis College back in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She moved to the Tucson area in 1969.
Susan was an elementary school teacher at Prince Elementary in the Amphi School District in Tucson for over 25 years. She was an active member of Local Chapter BO of PEO since 1998, and the American Association of University of Women since the 1980s.
Susan was a member of the Green Valley Community Church from the mid-1980s, and was an active participant in the Green Valley Interfaith Church Council.
After she retired, Susan fully enjoyed her lifelong passion of traveling around the world. All of us enjoyed the postcards and pictures of a church in Italy, a temple in Greece or even a sight in Australia under the Southern Cross.
A memorial service was held Tuesday, June 23, in Tucson.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to: Casa De Esperanza, 780 South Park Centre Ave., Green Valley, AZ 85614.
