Susan Patranella loving wife, mother, Nana, sister, aunt, and friend went to be with her Lord and Savior on May 3, 2025. She was born in Bryan, Texas on February 27, 1949 to Donald Haltom and Billie Tilley Haltom. She married Frank Patranella on July 12, 1970. She had three kids Alan, Anthony, and Betsi.

Susan was very active with Brazos County 4-H as an Adult Leader and Club Leader. She worked at Shelpers and CMC for many years. She loves watching her kids and now grandkids show cattle. Susan never met a stranger. She always had an open door policy for everyone. Susan had a passion for spending time with her friends and family. She enjoyed traveling with her sister Leigh. She always said her favorite trip was the cruise they took to Alaska. She fiercely loved her grandkids and being a Nana. The word “no” never applied to her babies when they were at Nana’s house. 

Susan is survived in death by her husband Frank, her sons Alan and his wife Joy Patranella, Anthony and his wife Jessica Patranella, and her daughter Betsi and her husband Kevin Castillo. Her 7 grandchildren Ashlynn and Caden Castillo, Madilyn, Frankie, and Layton Patranella, and Madison and Jeri Holcomb. Her sister Leigh Burrus. As well as her nieces, nephews, many friends, and loved ones. We would like to extend a thank you to Johnny Lampo, Luminos Hospice, and their nurses/staff for taking exceptional care of Susan.
