Susan Terry Nowling's Obituary
Susan Nowling, 63, of Hollywood, Florida, passed away August 18, 2014. Dear sister of Justin aka: Barry (Robin) Nowling, Jonathan Nowling, Andrew (Mary) Nowling; adored aunt of Cori, David, Chrissy Carrie, Peter; great aunt of Gienevive. Susan had the love, respect and admiration of countless friends and colleagues, near and far, with friendships being her priority. She had a loving heart, beautiful spirit and an open, curious, brilliant mind. She was a wonderful raconteur who truly enjoyed sharing laughter and it was a great pleasure to be a recipient and participant in her humor and wit. With style, grace and passion, Susan always danced (and really loved to dance), to her unique beat of the drum. She was a visionary, a leader, a mentor and was equally creative as an artist as she was in business. She was a talented entrepreneur and had navigated fearlessly to achieve success in whatever her chosen profession. At the age of 20, she established, owned and was President of the “Garden of Eden” chain of shops in Minnesota and went on to become a book and magazine publisher, designer and marketer. Even in the face of her illness, she maintained her humor, courage and tenacity. Susan will be deeply missed by family, friends and her beloved dog, Lula, and will always be remembered as a special, bright light for all who had the privilege of knowing her.
