On June 24th, our beloved Susan Wertz passed away and was reunited with her husband in eternal peace. Susan was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend whose love and warmth touched so many lives.

She was a long-time banker in the Antelope Valley, known not just for her professionalism, but for the kindness and *brightness* she brought into every room. Susan had a vibrant personality, a quick wit, and a heart that made people feel seen, heard, and loved. Her light and energy were truly one of a kind.

We are creating this fundraiser to honor her life and help bring her family together during this difficult time. The funds raised will support:

* A memorial service to celebrate Susan’s life

* Travel and lodging costs for her children and grandchildren to gather and grieve together

* Assistance with time off work and unexpected expenses during this period of loss

Any contribution, big or small, will mean the world to the family. If you're unable to give, please consider sharing this campaign and keeping Susan’s family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
