Susan
Leanne Daley passed away at her home in Carrollton, Texas on October 7,
2019 after a long battle with COPD and back trouble. Susan was born on
January 28, 1962 in La Puente, California. She was proceeded in death by
her mother Margarette (Rita) Daley. She is survived by her father
Howard, brother Daniel, brother Thomas and his wife Kim, nephews Brice
and Storm, and niece Kelly. She is greatly mourned by numerous friends
and other family members and is greatly missed by the family cats
Princess and Hunter. She attended Farmers Branch Elementary School and
Vivian Field Middle School in Farmers Branch, Texas and was in the
second graduation class of Newman Smith High School in Carrollton,
Texas. She was on the honor roll all through Junior and senior school.
Susan attended Brookhaven College for one year and was VP of Student
Forum and VP of the Wilderness Club. She played clarinet in both the
marching band and the orchestra in both high school and college. She was
active in sports and she played softball and soccer in club leagues
while in school. Susan wanted to be an attorney until she saw a
documentary about archeology but never achieved that goal. After leaving
college, she continued to be very independent and came out as gay and
lived her life on her own terms. She had several jobs but found a niche
as a Courier Dispatcher at several companies and was praised by her
employers and co-workers for her ability to balance delivery routes and
resources to decrease delivery times and increase driver and company
profitability. One of her proudest moments was being told by her
assistant dispatcher that they were “not worthy” after he had to take
over her duties one day when Susan was sick. Unfortunately deteriorating
health issues prevented her from continuing to work in her profession.
She had many friends and was respected for her kindness and generosity
by all that knew her. She had several cats during her life and they were
all adored by her and the love was reciprocated. She also “adopted” a
one eared rabbit that lived in our yard that she named “beanie”. Those
of you on Facebook have no doubt seen posts of some of them. Susan was
loved by her parents and siblings all through her life even though some
of her choices were not what we thought were best for her. She often
stated that she appreciated our acceptance of her life choices. I know
she is greatly missed by all that knew her.
