Our Susan

Susan Shields died Tuesday morning, March 16, 2010, with her son and some of her closest friends by her side. Susan served Central Christian Camp as director of operations for nearly 20 years. A Memory Forest tree ceremony in her memory will take place at 5 pm on April 8, 2010 at Central Christian Camp, Guthrie. Susan expressed the desire for memorial gifts to be given to be "Make Promises Happen" for the creation of a college scholarship program for volunteer counselors who, in her words, "have given so much to the lives of our campers." Memorial gifts may also be sent directly to Central Oklahoma Christian Camp, #1 Twin Cedar Lane, Guthrie, OK 73044. A memorial endowment fund in Susan's memory has been established through The Oklahoma Disciples Foundation to benefit Central Christian Camp. Gifts may be sent to this fund at 301 NW 36th St, Okla. City, OK 73118. Sympathy messages or flowers may be sent to Central Christian Camp, or directly to her home, 608 E Washington, Guthrie, OK 73044. Anyone who had contact with the camp over the last 20 years has had contact with Susan, her straightforwardness and her humor. Over and above her job, Susan spent many hours at the camp as an uncompensated volunteer. She took pride that folks were pleased and that numerous events happening simultaneously were operating smoothly. Susan will be sorely missed and often remembered.

   

When Susan started the chemotherapy program and she started losing hair, Spencer and James shaved their heads. Susan was loved.
Susan and the Boyett sisters (Emily and Kerry) were active fans of the Kruger Brothers bluegrass music. Two days before she died the Krueger Brothers had plane tickets to Oklahoma City intending to fill Susan's house with bluegrass music. Weather closed the airport but Susan was loved.
The camp staff volunteered to build her memorial in the pictures above. Susan was loved.
When you go to the memorial and sit on the bench listen carefully for some Kruger bluegrass music in the distance. …webmaster
