Madison- Susan L. Closson, 66, went to her Eternal home on November 21, 2020 surrounded by her family after a short courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Susan was born on October 1, 1954, in Waterville, the daughter of Wilfred and Elinor (McCarthy) DuBois. On February 12, 1988 she married Steve Closson, her best friend and the love of her life and was known as his “Sweet Pea”. Susan spent more than 30 years of dedicated service in retail helping customers at the Madison Hannaford and the Waterville Home Depot.
Susan was a loving wife, caring mother, adoring grammie and “Memaw”. She enjoyed gardening, spending time in her kitchen, making crafts, decorating and shopping for special gifts for others. There was nothing that Susan loved more than getting family and friends together where she made sure every little detail was attended to. She put her heart and soul into spending countless hours with all of her grandchildren. Wherever Susan went, love and laughter could be found.
