Susan Grissom's Obituary
Susan Harper Grissom left us far too soon on Tuesday, November 7, 2017. Susan was born January 18th, 1961 in Jackson, TN; but spent her life as a Memphian having graduated from Briarcrest High School and is an alumnus of Ole Miss where she studied finance and was a member of Phi Mu sorority. Her passions included her faith in God, her family, travel, dining, Grizzlies basketball and enjoying live music. Susan believed in Memphis and loved living in the downtown community. She was a member of Downtown Church and spent the past 25 years of her career with Johnson & Johnson as a sales representative working with optometrists. She was a beautiful individual inside and out who was very generous with her time and resources to help others less fortunate. As a mother, daughter, sister; or a friend, she will missed by all those that were fortunate enough to have had her in their lives. Susan leaves behind her husband, Scott Grissom; daughter Devin Roper; son-in-law Jameson Roper, both of Nashville; mother Betty Harper of Germantown; brother Jeff Harper, Austin, TX; and many nieces, nephews and in-laws.
