She was born on January 22, 1939 in Warren, Ohio the daughter of Harry E. Moss and Erma E. (McClain) Moss. Susie was the youngest of eight children and her very best friends were found in her sisters and brothers.
She was preceded in death by her parents, three sisters: Ada Ruth Church, Alda “Curly” Gordon, Almira Rood and three brothers: Samuel, Charles and Robert Moss. Her sister Vera (Robert) Goode survives along with her sisters-in-law Vera and Frances Moss and many beloved nieces and nephews. Sue had a lifelong love of entrepreneurship and worked as a self-employed hair stylist for over 40 years, retiring in 2005.
She opened the first beauty salon in Cortland, Ohio in 1960, Sue’s Style Salon. She took great pride in her shop and her clientele quickly became friends. She and her husband, Robert Hamilton, were married on November 21, 1961.
Their two daughters, Cynthia “Cindy” Lynn (Gary) Smith and Diane Sue (Richard) Evans, who survive, brought tremendous happiness to Sue and all of her efforts and activities were centered around family life. However, there’s no denying that her grandchildren were her greatest pride and joy. Kyle (Stephanie) Tennant, Jeremy (Tiffany) Smith, Audrey (Luke) Gale, Logan (Eternity) Cain, Evan Cain, Connor Cain and Daniel Evans all survive.
Sue was a great-grandmother to Jack Tennant, Jake and Mackenzie Smith. Her husband Bob, who survives, selflessly cared for her significant health challenges over the past ten years, considering it a privilege. Sue and Bob moved to Fountain Hills, Arizona in 2014 to join Cindy’s family and enjoy the yearlong sunshine, hoping her health would improve.
Sue was active in the life of the church coordinating events and volunteering with the Rebecca Williams Community Center in Warren and with the Girl Scouts. Gardening, bowling and home decorating were hobbies she also enjoyed. She loved her lifelong monthly “Girl’s Club” gatherings which spanned fifty years.
