Obituary For Susan B Bussen (nee Dolson)

Susan Barbara Bussen (nee Dolson), 50, died June 13 after a 15-month battle with cancer. She leaves her husband of 13 years, Dana Bussen; son Taylor Davidson; daughter Jacqueline Davidson; son William Bussen; and friends. She attended Lindenwood University, graduating cum laude in 1999 with a Bachelor of Arts in communications. Susan had a love of cooking and sewing, but had a real passion for growing plants and flowers. She was an industrious worker and planner and enjoyed remodeling her home and gardens. She loved living life to the fullest. Susans kind heart, warm smile and bubbly personality will be missed by all who knew her. A private memorial will be held by family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Susan Bussen to Annies Hope, 1333 W. Lockwood, Suite 104, Glendale, Mo., 63122, or Boy Scouts of America Greater St. Louis Area Council, P. O.
