She was born Susan Marie Giesemann on December 6, 1978, in Annapolis, Maryland, while Ty and Angie were stationed at the US Naval Academy She was a loving, happy girl who enjoyed the outdoors, theater, and music. She attended E. J. King High School in Sasebo, Japan, and graduated from Episcopal High School in Jacksonville, Florida. She attended Appalachian State University and then joined the US Marine Corps in 1998. Not content to sit at a desk, she became an airframes mechanic, specializing in nondestructive inspection and testing. She made two deployments to Okinawa. She earned her aircrew wings and qualified as both a transportation safety specialist and as a loadmaster on the C-9 aircraft. Susan and Warren, both Marine sergeants, were married on November 25th, 2005 in Havelock, North Carolina. Liam Tyler, their first child, was to be born in September. Susan was a beautiful woman, a tough Marine, a loving wife, and the greatest daughter ever. At the memorial service, funeral, and reception on Wednesday, June 14th, we learned more of the Marine aspect of her life from the many Marines and civilians she knew and touched during her time at Marine Transport Squadron-1 at Cherry Point. The ceremony with full military honors was performed flawlessly by the Marines she served with, and the daily visits, concern, and assistance by her Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Pete Buck, by Major Wade Reinthaler, and squadron Sergeant Major Chris Rice will never be forgotten.
