Susan was born on June 9, 1948, in Beverly, Massachusetts, to the late Thelma (Fosberg) and John Lang. She grew up in Danvers, Massachusetts, and later attended the Beverly Hospital School of Nursing and Saint Joseph's College of Maine. She worked as a dedicated registered nurse in several settings, including the Beverly School for the Deaf.

Susan was first married to Robert Daniel Hutchinson, with whom she shared many years of marriage and two children, Robert and Beth. After her husband's passing, she later married Timothy Bresnahan, and together they made their home in Danvers, Massachusetts, where they shared many happy years. Sue and Tim were active members of the Beverly-Peabody Elks Lodge, and Sue was proud to be the second woman to achieve the distinguished rank of Exalted Ruler. They later retired to Vero Beach, Florida, where they enjoyed taking cruises and road trips to explore Florida's many beautiful beaches.

Sue will be remembered for her love of gardening, knitting, and reading mystery novels, as well as for her loyalty to the New England Patriots and her affection for the Miami Dolphins. She especially loved spending time with her beloved grandchildren and cherished many trips to the Disney area with them.
