Susan "Susie" Herrera

Susie Herrera, our friend, mother, relative, and co-worker, passed early in the morning of November 15, due to a severe aneurysm experienced on November 9, 2024.   Her sudden loss of life was unexpected and heartfelt.  Her son Dustin, and his wife, were by her side.

Susie was always a light in the dark; a comforting soul in a world of turmoil.   Conversations with Susie would wander from the current happenings of the week, to the next big thing, as she always was thinking about the future, and concerned about how what she did now, would effect it.   

Growing up in Greenwood Forest in northwest Houston and attending Klein High, Susie was surrounded by hundreds of other like kids … straight and narrow (sorta) … living and loving life; unbounded.   But Susie was not a push-over.   Growing up with her older brother Pete as the protector, she went on to a successful career in law as an attorney.  (input from her attorney friends would be helpful here)  

When Dustin was born, she was elated at the idea of bringing another person into the world.  Always concerned about everything to the nth degree.  She talked about how it was important to her for her son to know right from wrong, good from bad, and to achieve whatever he could, without limits, as he grew into a man.  He turned out pretty good and in fact, as most Mother's do, she didn't want him to fly the coop.  

She left too soon.  All of the plans around her retirement, from living in the Texas Hill Country to moving to Florida to be with more family … were sweet dreams.   Dreams that were sure to become a reality, just with enough time.

Please provide your photos, videos, and detailed remembrances of your time with Susie here on this site.   This is a permanent site and will never go away, so if in the future you think about her, on her birthday, or a special anniversary you share, please feel free to write her a note, here.    She probably has good access in Heaven and may be able to write us back, or otherwise visit us, some day; who knows.

Suzie is being cremated and there will be a Celebration of Life in the future.  The family has not yet decided on when or where, but probably in early 2025.   It will be announced here and through various friend networks on social media.

With great love, 

Susie's Friends
