Susan Pernell's Obituary
Susan Pernell (Rauch)
February 5, 1950 - August 22, 2025
Susan Pernell, born in Milton, Washington passed away peacefully on August 22, 2025, in Puyallup, Washington. She was 75.
Susan was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend whose warmth and humor touched everyone she met. She is survived by her loving children - Anastasia, Herbie (Deborah), Andy (Rebekah), and Nick (Lauren) - and her cherished granddaughters, Audrey and Declan.
For many years, Susan served her community as a school bus driver for the Clover Park School District, retiring in 2016. Her dedication and care for the children she transported reflected the deep kindness that defined her life.
Susan found joy in the simple pleasures: spending time with her family and friends, doting on her beloved dogs, cheering on Seattle sports teams, and soaking in the natural beauty of her home state. Whether it was a walk through the woods or a quiet moment watching the rain, she embraced Washington's wild charm with gratitude and wonder.
Her legacy lives on in the love she gave, the laughter she shared, and the memories held dear by those who knew her.
A private memorial will be held by the family.
