Susan Lynn Roberson's Obituary
Susan Lynn Roberson, 63, of Derby passed away on Tuesday, April 11, 2023 at Select Specialty Hospital
in Wichita, while surrounded by her family. Susan was born on October 20, 1959, in Chanute, the
daughter of William and Ellen (Crowl) Myers.
Susan grew up in Chanute and graduated from Chanute High School in 1977. After high school, Susan
moved to California to attend a business school. In 1983, Susan moved to Wichita where she continued
to work in finance until 2021. On September 13, 1991, Susan married the love of her life and best friend
Donald Roberson, Jr. at the Sedgwick County Courthouse.
Susan loved to take trips with her family to Colorado, Destin, Florida, and Branson, Missouri. Susan also
loved to take sister trips with her younger sister, Christy (Myers) Reeves. Another passion of Susan’s
was going to look at new cars and her pride and joy was a white Trans Am that she had when she was
younger. Going shopping with her children or by herself was another thing that Susan liked to do, and
she really enjoyed getting ideas from HGTV to update and decorate her home. Her granddaughter
Neveah was the light of her life and she would always have a coloring contest with her, which Neveah
would always win.
Susan was a very strong-willed woman, that always wanted her children to be self-sufficient and to be
proud of who they are. Susan was also a very kind-hearted woman that always put the needs of others
before her own. Susan will be greatly missed and loved by all who knew her.
Susan is survived by her husband Donald Roberson, Jr. of Derby, KS; her daughters Laura Roberson and
her wife Jayci Roberson of Lawrence, KS, Brandie Dennison and her husband Joey of Eagan, MN, and
