Susan Kay Levang

In this moment of great sadness, we must share with you that our dear mother, loving grandmother, sister, and adoring aunt, Susan Kay Levang, age 69, passed away on October 12, 2016 surrounded by her loving family and friends.

Susan was born May 9, 1947 in Fargo, North Dakota one of three children to parents, Mardell & Ingvald Levang. She spent much of her childhood in Los Angeles where her father was a school principal. In the early 1970s she moved north to Humboldt County. Susan then married Stephen Higgins and had two daughters, Megan and Kari. Susan spent 20 years working with HTA as a bus driver in Eureka, California. Upon retirement she moved to Grants Pass, Oregon. The last several years she spent being Super Grandma – watching kids, running errands and never missed a school event or swimming lesson. Susan always supported her family; giving and sacrificing for them.

Susan leaves behind two daughters, Megan Gerard and Kari Davis; grandchildren; a sister, Roxanne Levang; and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Steven Levang; and nephew, Dustin White.

Her passing leaves a hole in all our hearts and lives.

A memorial service for Susan is being planned.

To our mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend, “If love could have saved you, then you would have lived forever.”
