Mildred Jean "Susie" Garris

Mildred Jean "Susie" Garris, 69, of Parkesburg, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, July 30th, 2019 at her home.  She shared 20 years of companionship with Gary Dunmyre.

Born in Coatesville, she was the daughter of the late Ralph Joseph Garris and Marian Carlisle McNeil.

Susie was employed as a bookkeeper for AMS & DKS in Gap and for Beiler Campbell in Oxford.

Susie was a generous soul who would give anything to anybody.  She was an Elvis fan.  She was called the "best baker in America" and put her talents to work at a business she started and operated for many years called Tons of Buns in Morgantown.  She had many happy customers.

She was a member of a Central Baptist Church, Pomeroy.  She also attended Full Truth of God Bible Study.

Susie loved God, her family, and her church family and friends.  Also, her walk with the Lord was very precious to her.  She shared the Gospel with others.  Sharing was a big part of her life.  She was always giving. Giving of her love and time to others.  Even when she didn't have anything to give she still gave.  She loved people and loved all God's creatures.  That was apparent by the way she fed many stray animals and loved and rescued many cats.  Susie's life wasn't without troubles. As a matter of fact she had many obstacles and difficult times in her life, more then her share. God allowed these things as he sometimes does.  To show his self true and faithfulness in the inner workings of our lives to those who seek him. On this earth God says our life is like a vapor.  God is faithful.  What he starts he finishes.  Susie understood Gods principle of life. She did not chase down worldly possession and riches on this earth. She pursued the Lord.  She invested her time giving and helping others.  Because we come into this world with nothing we leave with nothing.   No man knows the hour when God calls.  Susie was called home to be with the Lord where she truly has riches and treasures.  Her work is done here. She was a faithful servant of God.  I know that she is truely free of all worldly troubles and is happy with the Lord. Although it hurts me to let go. I'll miss my Mom. Love you Mom

She is survived, in addition to Gary, by her beloved children: Terri A. Fioravanti, wife of John, and Robbie T. Warden, Jr., husband of Susan; five grandchildren, Ashley and Jaclyn Fioravanti, Adam Brown, Ciarra Cruickshank, and Kristopher Zaccarelli; and three great-grandchildren, Stephen Kitchen, and Brantley and Isabella Cruickshank; and her uncle, James Carlisle and cousin, Helen Acker.

The Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, August 7th at 2 PM at Wilde Funeral Home, 434 Main St., Parkesburg, Pa., followed by interment in Fairview Cemetery.  The viewing will be from 1 until 2 PM.
