Susan Townsend, 68, passed away on March 10, 2023, at UTMB Clear Lake Hospital in Webster, Texas. She was the wife of Don Townsend, and they shared twenty-four years of marriage together.

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, she was the daughter of Warren C. and Helen D. Borgeson. She graduated from Grace King High School and attended Louisiana State University School of Nursing. She was employed as a Registered Nurse for many years at East Jefferson Hospital, MD Anderson and others.

She enjoyed taking care of her garden, birdwatching, cross stitching, and reading. She will be remembered for her deep love of family, faith in God, contagious positivity and making life very special for everyone around her. Most notably, she made Christmas exceptional for her family, especially the children in her life, in most recent years, her grandchildren whom she loved intensely and unconditionally.

She is preceded in death by her mother, Helen Borgeson; father, Warren Borgeson and sister, Melanie "Honey Bee" Peoples.

She is survived by her brother, Robert "Red" Borgeson (Leta); husband, Don Townsend; children, Wade Reynolds (Leanna), Jesse Reynolds, and Evan Mersch (David); grandchildren, Elaina Michelle Reynolds, Madison Lynn Reynolds and Mackenzie Kay Mersch, and Buster, her faithful dog.
