A memorial service celebrating Susan's life will be held at a later date in Taylor, Texas.

Susan was born on March 21, 1959, in Houston, Texas, to Lorene Dornak Sobotik and Dr. Ben Sobotik.  Susan grew up in Taylor, Texas after her father opened his dental practice in Taylor upon his completion of dental school in 1961.

Susan graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and became a Certified Public Accountant.  Susan began her professional career with Arthur Andersen in Houston, Texas and at the end of her career retired after many years with Bill Young Productions of Sugar Land, Texas. 

An accomplished athlete with an adventurous spirit, Susan enjoyed running marathons and participating in cycling events. Among her many cycling experiences were several Texas MS 150's and, RAGBRAI, the annual weeklong bicycle ride across Iowa. She embraced the challenges of an active lifestyle and enjoyed the friendships and experiences that came along with them.

Susan had a special love for animals, particularly dogs. She had a lifelong fondness for dachshunds, including miniature and long-haired varieties, and opened her heart and home to rescue dogs. Her four-legged companions brought her much happiness over the years.

Above all, Susan loved her family. She treasured her daughters and the joy of being a grandmother, and her family will carry forward many cherished memories of her life.

Susan was preceded in death by her parents, Ben and Lorene Sobotik, and brothers Chris Sobotik and Kel Sobotik.

Susan is survived by her daughters, Kristin Chapman and her husband Chase of Houston, Texas, and Rebecca "Becca" Alexander of Charlotte, North Carolina; the father of her daughters, Kenneth Alexander of Richmond, Texas; grandson, Hayes Mixson Chapman, and granddaughter Quinn Taylor Chapman; sister, Sandra Hajda and her husband Rick of Salisbury, North Carolina; brothers, Mark Sobotik and his wife Debbie of San Antonio, Texas, and Kurt Sobotik and his wife Vivian of Cypress, Texas; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins, and special friends Steve and Diana Alexander of Richmond, Texas and Brent and Bonnie Simmons of Sugar Land, Texas.

Susan proactively participated in Alzheimer's studies at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida and donated her brain to help further medical advances for all those affected by Alzheimer's.
