Susan Putnam, 64, of Emory, Texas, passed away on January 1, 2026, in her home surrounded by her loved ones.

Born June 3, 1961, in Toledo, Ohio, Susan was a loving and supportive wife, an incredible mother and grandmother, and a steady presence in the lives of those around her. Her family was the center of her world, and she found joy in the playfulness and laughter of children, the grounding presence of trees, and an enduring fascination with Sasquatch.

She is survived by her husband, Mark Putnam, children, Katie Putnam, Ryan Putnam, Trevor Putnam, Kevin Atkinson, and Anthony Hess; beloved grandchildren, her mother, Marcia Rookwood; and her brother, Greg Rookwood. She was preceded in death by her father, Elmer Schwab, and her brother, Dean Rookwood.

Services will be private. Arrangements are under the direction of Murray-Orwosky Funeral Home in Sulphur Springs, Texas.

Susan will be remembered and celebrated by her family, whose lives are forever shaped by her love and support.

 

Arrangements are under the direction of Murray-Orwosky Funeral Home.
