Susan Miller Burt
Susan, or “Sue” 78, of Plant City, Fl passed away October 3, 2017.
Susan graduated from Hillsborough High School in 1957. Susan went to St. Pete Jr College where she graduated with an associate of science in nursing in 1960. She completed her bachelors of science in nursing from the University of Miami in 1965.
She met Donald G Burt Jr. while working as a staff nurse at Tampa General Hospital. They were married a short time later on October 5, 1963.
She worked as an oncology and visiting nurse in Colorado for over 10 years. Eventually, she settled in Plant City where she became school nurse for Hillsborough County School Board and served at Marshall Middle School for over 15 years.
Because of her passion for nursing and serving the kids of Plant City, she postponed retirement until 10/10/2012 at which time she was 73. Upon retirement, she continued on with her affection to serve others.
She was devoted to her Church, First Presbyterian of Plant City, the Plant City Chamber of Commerce, the Bruton Memorial Library, and the train depot of Plant City. Susan was devoted to serving in her favorite Chamber events which included the Suncoast Credit Union Plant City Pig Jam, Car Show and people watching at the Plant City Bike Fest.
Her hobbies included amateur ham radio (call sign KE4BRY), swimming 500 yards a day, volunteering as swim coach for Lakeland Christian and Plant City High School, golfing, puppet ministry, church choir, gardening, and showing off her converse sneakers. Most importantly, Susan loved her family and bringing her unique and contagious joy into their lives.
Susan Burt is survived by her daughter, Ginger Stowell; son-in-law, Gregg Stowell: daughter, Marjorie Burt-Harkey; son, D. Douglas Burt; daughter-in-law, Jessica Burt; sister, Diane Wilke; sister, Marjorie Ferrer; brother, Bruce Miller; and five grandchildren, Dennon Harkey, Payton Harkey, Mason Stowell, September Stowell, and Jaxon Burt.
We would like to immortalize her light through a celebration of life ceremony at 3:00 pm, on Sunday, October 15th at First Presbyterian Church of Plant City, 404 W Reynolds St, Plant City, Fl 33563.
