A lifelong resident of Pearsall, Susan was the owner of Shelton Cleaner’s, one of the oldest family-owned businesses in Pearsall. She enjoyed the outdoors from an early age on the family farm, where she rode horses all over Pearsall with her sisters and friends. That hobby transition into scuba diving and snorkeling in Mexico or water skiing with friends. She most enjoyed fishing of any kind, whether at her favorite lake, in the Gulf of Mexico, or on the bank of a pond. She could often be found helping her grandchildren bait a hook and clean fish over the last few years.
