Susan was born on April 10, 1950, in Henderson, Kentucky, to the late Robert and Frances Hayden.  Susan was a lifelong, devoted member of Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church.

Susan was a devoted wife and mother to her four children, for whom she spent her life making their house a home.  Susan also dedicated many years of her life volunteering at Holy Name School.  She loved spending time with her family and was her grandchildren's biggest fan--never missing a birthday, school event, game, graduation, or anything else in between.

In addition to her parents, Susan was preceded in death by one sister, Martha Scott.

Survivors include her husband of 53 years, Steve Book; their four children, John Book and his wife, Renae, of Henderson, Kentucky, Jason Book and his wife, Penny, of Owensboro, Kentucky, Mark Book of Henderson, Kentucky, and Kim Fogle and her husband, Brad, of Henderson, Kentucky; five siblings, Marian Sauer of Henderson, Kentucky, Gary Hayden of Evansville, Indiana, Mary Beth Hayden of Henderson, Kentucky, Steve Hayden of Henderson, Kentucky, and Judy Hayden of Henderson, Kentucky; 13 grandchildren, Kari Barnett (Aaron Barnett), Lace Bellamy, Morgan Shaw (Taylor Shaw), John "Trey" Book, Chantz Book (Lakyn Book), Cole Fogle, Hannah Book, Hunter Book, Harly Book, Trevor Book, Jack Fogle, Charlie Fogle, and Hadley Book; 7 great-grandchildren, Austin Barnett, Aden Barnett, Ryleigh Logan, Za'Rya Shaw, Reese Logan, Tavion Shaw, and Jett Barnett; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
