Susan was born July 13, 1954 in Salina, Sevier County, Utah to Richard James Sorensen Sr. and Faye (Turner) Sorensen. She was the fifth of seven brothers and sisters. Her family lived all over Utah and finally settled in Lehi in 1965, where she graduated from Lehi High School. She later went on to receive her Accounting Degree from Utah Valley University.

Susan, a CPA, worked in Accounts Receivable as well as had her own Accounting business—Full Spectrum Accounting. She enjoyed dancing the nights away, camping and stories around the fire, arrowhead hunting and had a passion for the Native American Cultures. She had many hobbies such as sewing, crochet and gardening. She especially enjoyed long rides in her convertible with great music on the radio and most of all hanging out with her Wonderful Grandchildren. She worked very hard and received her endowments in the LDS Church, so as to re-join her Father, Richard, and Son, Vickland, in time and eternity.

Resting now from care and sorrow,
Resting from fatigue and pain;
Faithfully she fought life’s battle—
Death to such is endless gain.
God hath gathered home her spirit,
God hath taken what He gave;
Friend and sister, sweetly slumber
In the quiet, peaceful grave.
(v. 14, Emily Hill Woodmansee)
