Susan B. Fleenor

Susan B. Fleenor, a most beloved wife, mother, sister, and dedicated follower of Jesus, passed away on July 9, 2024, at the age of 68. After a fearless year-long journey with metastatic breast cancer, she was called home to heaven with her family by her side. Susan was born on November 4, 1955, in Sheffield, Alabama. Susan’s life is celebrated for her unwavering faith, commitment to her family, and service to others.

Susan graduated from Rockwood High School and went on to earn her degree from the University of Tennessee. However, she remained a loyal University of Alabama fan for her entire life. She lived in Farragut, Tennessee, where she became a cherished member of her church and community.

A devoted mother, Susan poured her love and energy into raising her two children, Mark and Rebecca and into the lives of her friends and those around her. Her life was a testament to God through her service to others and her love for Jesus. She loved God’s word and used her gift of teaching to touch many lives. She began her teaching as a 3rd grade teacher at Ridgeview Elementary school.

Susan used her profound knowledge and love of Scripture, touching the lives of many women and children as both a leader in Bible Study Fellowship and then as the preschool Director at Christ Covenant Church.

In recent years, Susan and Mike made precious memories traveling the world, through mission trips with their church, the Jesus Film Project and other mission organizations. Their travels to help spread the Gospel message took them to China, India, Afghanistan, Greece, Romania, Honduras, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, Spain & Israel.

She leaves behind her loving husband, Mike Fleenor, her son Mark Fleenor (Ruthann), her daughter Rebecca Russell (Austin), her brother Jimmy Batchelor (Gay Dawn), Nieces Allison Boster (Garrett), Casey Miles (Christopher). Susan is preceded in death by her mother Faye Batchelor and father, Tommy Batchelor. Her family and friends celebrate the gift that she was to those who knew her and look forward to seeing her again next to her Lord and Savior.
