She worked her way up the career ladder, including working for the Missouri State Highway Dept, and then later working at the Kansas City Courthouse. After having enough of the "city life" she moved to Calhoun, MO in 1985 with husband David Bradley, where she always said it was like living in the country. Susan and David later divorced. Susan was Calhoun City Clerk for 3 years where she met Joseph C. Manley. They united in marriage on August 31, 1991 in Osceola, MO. To this union a daughter was born, Ashley Dawn.
Susan was one of a kind. She was a very kind hearted person, and would help anyone in need. She loved to cook and bake. Cooking was one thing she loved to do and would never let anyone leave the house hungry. She loved animals and watching the wildlife and stopping to pick wild flowers on the side of the road. She loved going to the lake swimming and fishing. She loved to laugh and play cards. But most of all she loved family time.
