Susan R. Meyer, age 77, of Chelsea, MI, passed away on July 1, 2020 at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital - Ann Arbor. Born on July 7, 1942 in Ferndale, MI, Susan is the daughter of Edward and Julia (Sampson) Meyer.
Susan lived in the Chelsea area for the last 15 years after living in Grand Rapids. She became the first female meat buyer for a major food company in the nation. She then became the seafood buyer for Spartan Stores. She helped pave the way for future females in the meat and seafood business. Susan retired, moved to Chelsea, and because of her love of people, she began working at Polly's Country Market as a cashier, where she was beloved by many. Susan loved golfing--and was particularly proud of scoring two hole-in-one shots in her 70s! Cats were her favorite pet, and more so than anything else, Susan just loved people.
She is survived by her son, Gordy, of Chelsea; siblings, John (Jenny) Meyer of Pontiac, MI, Edward Meyer of the Carolinas, Carol (John) Hill of Bloomington, IN, and Judy Smith of Chelsea; as well as several special nieces and nephews.
