While in Greensville, Mississippi, she was a faithful daughter in the Elks Club for approximately ten years.
In January 1971, Susie traveled to Boston to assist her daughter, Joyce Pledger-Sullivan. While there, she decided Boston was a better place for her family. Following a discussion with her husband, they made the decision to relocate. Moses Coren, Sr., and her children joined her in Boston, Massachusetts, in the summer of 1971.
During her time in Boston, MA, she held various positions before becoming a school bus driver with the Boston Public School System for approximately 20 years. Susie’s daughter, Joyce, invited her to visit the Metropolitan Baptist Church.

121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
Revelation 14:13
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
