Susan Marshall Dandridge, 102, of Martinsville, Virginia transitioned from Earth to Glory on Thursday, November 12, 2020 at her residence. She was born on July 14, 1918 Henry County, VA, to the late John Obie and Martha Hope Marshall.

Susan loved her pastor, Elder Harold Arnold, and the Chestnut Knob community. She was very involved in community events and was a member of the Chestnut Knob Ruritan Club. After retiring from American Furniture, she attended two different Senior Citizens Clubs regularly. At the age of 101 she started attending Edwards Adult Daycare and looked forward to being there daily, enjoying the interactions with others, the bus ride and receiving compliments of her dressed-up appearance.
