November 7, 1939 - June 6, 2025
Bradenton, Florida - Susan Della Beadle (Scott), age 85, of Bradenton, Florida, passed away peacefully on June 6, 2025. Susan lived a full and vibrant life, splitting her time between Florida and Ada, Michigan.
She was born on November 7, 1939, in Toledo, Ohio, to Thornton and Joanne Scott.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her loving husband, John Beadle, who passed away in 2006. Married in 1965, together they built a life centered around family, adventure, and shared passions.
Sue is survived by her daughter Patricia (Patti) Beadle Spencer and son-in-law, Bruce Spencer, Jr. of Ada, MI; daughter Theresa (Terri) Beadle of United Arab Emirates; her beloved grandsons, Will and Chance Spencer.
After John retired, they bought a home in Bradenton, FL and became Snowbirds, spending winters there. In 2018, Sue moved to Florida full time. There she continued to be involved in many activities including the Bradenton Elks, Trailer Estates (TE) Fire Auxiliary, TE Yacht Club and the TE Share-A-Craft Club.
An adventurous traveler even into her later years, Sue visited her daughter Terri in the U.A.E. in the winter of 2023 and again in the fall of 2024. She embraced new cultures with curiosity and always found joy in spending time with her loved ones, no matter how far the journey. Just last summer, Sue and Terri took a trip to Salt Lake City, UT to visit her grandson Chanceand for Sue, it was a milestone moment: her 1st time flying first class. She reveled in the experience, laughing at every new luxury and marveling at how travel could still surprise her, even in her mid 80s. That joy, that sparkle of wonder in her eyes, is a memory we'll cherish forever.
She lived her life fully, loved deeply, and when her time came, she left this world as she had livedwith dignity, on her own terms, and surrounded by love. Known for her warmth, sense of humor, and generous spirit, Susan touched many lives and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
The funeral and burial will be in Michigan. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a donation in Sue's name be made to Tidewell Hospice, Bradenton, FL or Special Olympics Michigan.
