Susan Story

    Susan Story, beloved daughter of LaVaun Story and the late Gerald C. Story passed away Thursday, December 21, 2017 after many years of valiantly fighting many health-related challenges due to an unremovable brain tumor.
    Susan was born on March 4, 1978 in Price, Utah. She was the youngest of 5 children. Her growing up years were spent in Price. She graduated from Carbon High School.
    In spite of all her health issue, Susan loved life and people. She loved to travel and to see new places when possible. She loved playing card games and teaching others so they could play them with her. Susan loved anything related to M & Ms, keychains, Winnie the Pooh and joking around with others. She wrote daily in her journal and especially loved to read and to learn in spite of her being legally blind.
    Susan was an active member of the LDS church and loved the gospel of Jesus Christ and had a strong testimony. She enjoyed attending any temple when she was able.
    Susan worked at Castle Valley Center in Price, Utah as a teacher’s aide for 5 years. She greatly loved the people that she was able to work and associate with there.
    Susan was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor when she was 4 years old. She had radiation at this time at L.D.S. hospital in Salt Lake City. When she was 27 years old the brain tumor started to grow again and she went through treatment again. The radiation caused a lot of side effects which affected her mobility.
    Susan had a motto for her life, it was “March Forth and Be Positive”. This motto was tied to her birth date and blood type.
    Susan was preceded in death by her father, Gerald C. Story, brother Alan, 2 grandfathers and a grandmother. She is survived by her mother, LaVaun Story of Salem, Utah, 2 sisters, Julie (Ryan) Rigby of Salem, Lisa (Joe) Everton of Hillsboro, Oregon a brother, Scott (Kellie) Story of San Diego, CA and sister in law, Kim (Alan) Story of South Ogden, Utah, 6 nieces and 6 nephews, grandmother, Marie Fenske of Lethbridge, Alberta and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and acquaintances.
