Francis E. "Susie" Blakeley's Obituary
Francis E. “Susie” Blakeley passed away on December 16, 2023, at the age of 67. She was born on July 9, 1956, to the late Robert CD “Buddy” Nuckolls and Peggy Nuckolls. She married Danny on June 30, 1977, and to this union one son, Joseph Keith Blakeley, was born. She enjoyed a life full of hard work and adventure, heartache and happiness. Susie loved racing from dirt track to NASCAR, she loved road trips, antiquing and fishing with crickets. She was proud of getting to explore 32 states and had plans to see more in retirement.
Susie is survived by her husband, Danny; her son Joey; and a sister, Dama Rochelle with her husband Mike; she is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Susie went to Disciple Homes as a part time employee about 20 years ago. It didn’t take long to realize God had led her there, and guided, held, and blessed her in loving mercy and grace till her journey here was done. So now, God has moved her to the next journey in his love, mercy, and grace.
