Susan began singing at the age of seven, the same year she gave her heart to the Lord in a Sunday School class. She and her sisters, Karen and Sandra, grew up in South Bend Methodist Church in their native Gainesville, Georgia. When in high school, Karen and Susan sang in a trio there with fellow student Pam Blackburn, and Becky Shuler Withrow playing piano. “The people there were very supportive of us, and that church is very special to us,” Susan said.

 “The Lord has truly blessed my life," she told this writer. "He has given me a wonderful husband and a great son, and I have my health. Just to be able to get up every day and know that He is there and that He is helping me through is truly a blessing. There have been difficult times in my Christian walk, but I feel that, during the difficult times, God was telling me that I needed to depend on Him and that He could help me through anything.”

Susan’s favorite verse of scripture is Matthew 7:7:  Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and  ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

She admires the character of Joseph, for whom she named her own son. “Even through difficult times in his life, Joseph still trusted God, and he stood firm,” she said. “At the end, even after everything he had been through, he still was a man of God. Even though his brothers and other people did him wrong, he didn’t turn his back on them. Even though they did him wrong, he still was there for them."

Susan named "What a Day That Will Be" as her favorite song. With singing as a career, she enjoys traveling to other states as well as to other countries, such as Scotland. “I enjoy being able to see different people,” she added. “We have friends all over who come and see us, and it’s nice meeting new people and seeing different scenery.”

Her parents, Sue and the late Robert Ezra Peck, were great Christian role models in her life. Her father’s death, in February, 1993, was difficult to accept. “He was only 59. We did everything together. There were times that I really didn’t want to go on, but I knew that I had to, for my Mom. During the difficult times, the Lord gives us extra strength we need to go on, and become a better person and a better Christian.

“My Mom is strong in her faith. She is very outgoing, and she is able to laugh at herself when she does funny things. She has taught us to laugh at ourselves if funny things happen. She is a very positive, upbeat person.

She recommends that aspiring singers and all Christians have a good foundation in the Word of God. “First of all, stay in God’s Word, read your Bible, pray, and study,” she said. 
     She suggests that young singers sing as much as possible and train with a vocal coach. “Try to learn an instrument, if you can play an instrument,” she added. “Basically, be in the Word of God and work on your craft."
     When asked how she would like to be remembered, Susan answered, "I would like to be remembered as someone who was fun and as someone people enjoyed to be around. And I would like to be remembered as a good Christian person who was stable in my Christian walk."
     Susan advises those who do not know Jesus to trust in Him. “There is a void the lost need to fill in their lives,” said Susan. “Sometimes, they fill it with other things, in the world, but they will never have complete peace in their heart until they accept Jesus."
