Susan Cathlena Reuter

November 6, 1950 - November 23, 2020

Susan Cathlena Reuter, daughter of Ed and Estelle Reuter and beloved friend to many, passed away on November 23, 2020. Susie graduated from Messick High School and Murray State University, where she was a member of Alpha Delta Pi, but her heart belonged to the University of Memphis Tigers. A devoted Tigers basketball fan, Susie and her friends had season tickets for many years, and attending those Tigers home games was an absolute joy of her life. Susie loved music, movies, art, and gardening. She was a Master Gardener and created a paradise for herself in her backyard. She enjoyed starting plants from seeds and cuttings. She could grow anything and loved her amaryllis, hibiscus, and other garden surprises. Perhaps her greatest gift was her artistic talent. Susie was the most talented person most of those who loved her ever knew. She was a distinguished portrait artist and glass painter, who transitioned her gift into the digital world, becoming a true master of Photoshop. Some of her favorite professional projects were the paintings she did of Jesus and the children for the St. Jude Rotunda and her incredible work for the king himself at the Guesthouse at Graceland. Most of all, Susie will be remembered for her love for others. Susie was a loyal friend who showed bright enthusiasm and genuine interest in the lives of her loved ones. She took note of what mattered to us, remembered what was going on in our lives, and was always there to listen and commiserate. Her voice, her laughter, and her love will never be forgotten.
