Susan was born Dec. 29, 1949, in Littlefield to Bernis and Anne
MacFarland Camp.
Susan grew up in Muleshoe. She attended West Texas State University,
graduating with a bachelor's degree in education. Her first teaching job
was in Lake Charles. She received her master's degree from the
University of Texas. Susan's next position was as a diagnostician with
Amarillo Independent School District at the alternative high school.
After marrying W. Tom Fogarty, M.D., on Sept. 3, 1981, in Amarillo, they
moved to the Dallas area, where she accepted a position as a
diagnostician with Carrollton-Farmers Branch school district. Susan's
ability to connect with teenagers allowed her to easily move into her
next role as assistant principal at Newman Smith High School, where she
mentored both teachers and students for the next 10 years. She retired
in 2003 as director of student services for the school district, after
30 years in education, where she positively impacted multitudes of
students and educators.
After retiring, Susan spent quality time with her mother, sisters and
other family members. She focused her newfound time and energies to
enrich her life and those around her. Susan and Tom were able to travel
more and enjoyed spending time at their weekend home in Horseshoe Bay.

and Joyce Camp Rue. Survivors include her husband, W. Tom Fogarty, M.D.,
of Richardson; two sisters, Patte Camp of McKinney and Carol Camp
