Born in Plymouth Indiana on March 2, 1948 Susan was the daughter of Ivo and Mary (Gross) Helsel. She was a proud attendee of West High School for 3 years and then graduated from Plymouth High School with the class of 1966.

Susan was a homemaker, pouring her heart and soul into taking care of her family. She enjoyed reading, cross-word puzzles, watching college basketball, especially her Indiana Hoosiers.

Susan and Dennis were charter members of the Hoosier Old Wheels and enjoyed owning and driving a 1929 Model A Ford. Although she enjoyed doing all of these things, spending time with her children and grandchildren was her biggest passion.
