Susan Overturf Obituary
Susan Traynor Obituary
On June 10, 2024, the world lost a bright and beautiful soul. Susan Lynn Overturf Traynor, 68, succumbed to a recent cancer diagnosis in a hospital near her home in Campbell, California.
Susan, also known as Susie and Sue at various times in her adventurous life, was born in Ames, Iowa on January 19, 1956. She spent her first two decades in her hometown, attending Ames public schools and Iowa State University. Strong, lifelong friendships were forged there, as a student, a Camp Fire Girl, and a member of the Alpha Xi Delta sorority.
Always up for new experiences, Susan headed to Vail and then San Francisco in her early 20s. She lived in an apartment in the shadow of Coit Tower with a friend from college. From there she moved to Manhattan, mastering the subway system and Central Park. Later she landed in Kansas City…and eventually ended up back in the Bay Area where she lived for the next 30 years. She worked for several companies as an Executive Administrator until her retirement. Wherever she went, Susan lit up the room, made friends easily--and kept them for life. She was a treasure, and the list of those who love her is long.
Our dear Susan is survived by her loving husband, Greg Traynor; two sisters, Nancy Joyce McDade (Dan) and Linda Miller (Marlyn); one brother-in-law, Gary Traynor; four nieces and nephews: Christine Miller Ommen (Mark), Andrew Miller (Laura), Megan Joyce (Jeremy Farlow), and Caitlin Joyce. She also leaves behind beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, and many dear friends. Susan was preceded in death by her parents, James (Jim) Overturf and Bonnie Overturf Thomas.
