Born on July 1, 1963, in Fairfax, Oklahoma, to Frank and Helena James, Susan grew up with a profound sense of empathy and an innate ability to connect with people from all walks of life. She cherished every moment spent in the company of children, whose laughter brought immense joy to her heart. Susan had a unique way of making children feel understood and valued.
Alongside her gentle nature was a mischievous streak that earned Susan a reputation for being ornery. Friends and family recall with fondness Susan's nurturing, playful, and witty remarks that could light up any room. Her innocent humor was infectious, bringing smiles and laughter to even the most solemn occasions.
Susan enjoyed social times involving friends and family, creating lasting memories. Her passion for family was evident on every occasion she spent quality time with loved ones, where she was affectionately called Mimi and Aunt Sue-Sue. Susan's caring nature was evident at a young age as she cared for her siblings like a little mother hen.
Susan is survived by her significant other Mike Wheeler; sons Larry James and Ronni James; brothers Frank James and Jon James; eight grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and many nephews and nieces, who will continue to carry forward her legacy of love, laughter, and compassion. Susan was preceded in death by her parents Frank James and Helena Sue Casey; sister Kay James; son Robert Holman; and grandson Caleb James. Susan's presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
The Pawnee Nation Ceremonial Round House, 900 Agency Rd., Pawnee, OK, will host all events starting with a viewing on July 17, 2024, at 7:00 PM; prayer service on July 18, 2024, with services on Friday, July 19, at 10:00 AM, where friends and family will gather to honor her memory.
Though Susan may no longer be with us physically, her spirit will live on in the hearts and memories of those whose lives she touched. May we all strive to embody the kindness, humor, and love that defined Susan's remarkable journey through life.
Rest in peace, dear Susan.
