Susie Diaz, beloved companion, daughter, sister, aunt and friend to many in her native Monterey County, died peacefully in her sleep at home in Soledad, Calif.
Born and raised in King City, Calif., to parents Tom and Betty Diaz, Susie grew up and attended schools there, graduating from King City High while making many life-long friends along the way. She later moved to Salinas, where she worked for many years, most recently at Salinas Valley Memorial hospital prior to retiring.
Family and friends knew Susie liked nothing better than evoking a smile or sharing a laugh – she will be sorely missed.
Susie is survived by long-term companion Steve Scettrini; her father, Tom Diaz; her brother, Randall Diaz (Kathleen, daughter Lauren); and her sister, Dr. Tamara Diaz (Vanessa). She was preceded in death by her nephew, Bryan Diaz; and her mother, Betty Diaz.
Rest in peace, dearest Susie, you'll live forever in our hearts.
