Susan Miles October 3, 1945 - October 22, 2011

Our dear wife, mother, daughter and friend passed away on October 22, 2011 at the Partners in Care Hospice House of Bend.

She was a beautiful spirit and a loving soul who loved life and joyfully lived it to the fullest. To all who knew her, she was unique, inspiring and charismatic. She will be greatly missed.

Her personal reflections on her life and the world around her are illustrated in the thousands of photographs and artworks she created.

Susan is survived by her loving husband of 36 years, Emmons; her two beautiful children, Jennifer and Lawson and their respective husbands, Andy and Dax; her grandchildren, Miles, Luke, Levi and Sawyer; her parents, Emile and George; her brothers, Jon and Jim; and all of her dear friends.

Her loving family invites you to share in Susan's memory and to celebrate her beautiful life at a memorial on the Metolius River, one of her favorite places in Oregon. The celebration will be held on Saturday, November 12, 2011 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Camp Sherman Community Hall. For more information, please visit Poppies Café.

A service will also be held in Portland on December 17.
