She was a dress maker, school teacher & artist. She became a Mormon about 1844. Even though she was not a member of the Lowell Latter-Day Saint Benevolent Sewing Society, she named her oldest and her youngest daughters after Zelnora S. Snow and Hannah Elida Baldwin, who were both members of that Society, so she must have been closely tied to it.
Susan's sister Hannah Savage (born in Maine in 1832) also came to the Lowell/Boston area. Hannah married Moses M. Young and they lived in East Boston. In 1857, after completing a mission to Europe, Truman O. Angell visited Hannah and Moses in Boston.
In 1846 she sailed from New York on the ship Brooklyn with Samuel Brannan, landed in San Francisco. Traveled to Utah with the "gold train" in July 1849, as part of the Thomas Rhodes Company.
On April 20, 1851 Susan married Salt Lake Temple architect Truman O. Angell (as his second of three plural wives) and mothered six children. She died 19 July 1893 in Logan, Utah and was buried in Salt Lake City Cemetery (Burial No. 19351 Plat C Block 13 Lot 10).
Her parents: Jacob and Eliza Savage
Her children - Leonard Cates Angell, Alice Cates Angell, Truman Osborn Angell, Susan Elida Angell, Charles Edgar Angell, Zelnora Eliza Angell

Deseret Evening News, July 19, 1893:
Mrs. Susan E. Angell, of this City, passes away.
At 7 o'clock this morning, Sister Susan E. Angell, widow of the late Truman O. Angell, Church architect for the Salt Lake Temple, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Serge Ballif, in Logan. The lady was a resident of this city, and ten days ago went to Logan to visit her daughter. She was then in the enjoyment of unusually good health. About a week ago she took ill, with the result stated, the cause of her demise being dropsy of the heart. Her funeral will take place on Friday.
Sister Angell had an interesting history, and in her life experienced many severe trials for the Gospel's sake. She was a native of Skowhegan, Maine, and was sixty-eight years of age on the first of last January.
When about eighteen years of age she heard the Gospel and received it. Her family was very much averse to the position she had taken, and as a consequence she had to leave home. She had been reared in comparative affluence, and given such advantages of education as the time afforded, so when she left home and had to engage as a factory girl in Lowell, Massachuttes the experience in that portion was very severe.
She saved up money enough to take passage in the ship Brooklyn, and was one who made the famous voyage on that vessel to California in 1846. She was in the Golden State at the time of the discovery of gold there. In 1849 she came to Utah, having traveled most of the way from California on foot. In 1851 she became the wife of Elder T.O. Angell. She was a woman of most excellent qualities and attainments. She leaves six living children, three sons, and three daughters.
