    Susan Ellen Young Lea

    July 15, 1944 - September 16, 2020

    Susan Ellen Young Lea passed away on September 16, 2020. She was born in New York City on July 15, 1944. The family moved to Richmond, VA in 1948 where she lived for many years and was an active member of Trinity United Methodist Church. Susan graduated from Douglas Freeman High School in 1962 and attended Mary Washington College. Being an Army wife, she lived in several places here and abroad before settling back in Richmond to raise her three children. After retiring from Owens and Minor in 2008 she moved to Pawleys Island, SC where she lived until her death. Susan is survived by her three beloved children; Dawn Dougherty (Brian) of the Florida Keys, Scott Lea (Annie) of New Orleans, LA and Brian Lea (Beth) of Raleigh, NC; three sisters, Cynthia Setzer (Bill) of Key West, FL, Carol Beard (Dean) of Richmond, VA and Chris Young of Pawleys Island, SC; six grandchildren, Seamus Dougherty, Ethan, Grayson, Zachary, Andrew and Benjamin Lea who were the light of her life. Susan, we love you more than we can say. You brought such joy to our lives with your sweet nature, sense of humor and curiosity about all that life has to offer. We will celebrate that life every day. Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society, 950 48th Ave. N. Suite 101 Myrtle Beach, SC 29577.
