The Susan Langston Memorial Fund
Honoring Susan’s Life and Contributions
May 13, 1950 -January 2, 2023
Honoring Susan’s Life and Contributions
May 13, 1950 -January 2, 2023
All of us with Chama Humane were greatly saddened to learn
of Susan’s passing on January 2, 2023. It was not
unexpected-Susan had been living with cancer going on three
years-but it is heart-wrenching for those of us who knew and
loved her.
In her quiet, unassuming way, Susan touched the lives of
many in our community. For many years, she worked as a
substitute teacher at various schools and was often
requested by teachers who knew she would keep students on
track and not merely babysit them. She was a valued
volunteer at Chama’s Eleanor Daggett library and has been a
staunch supporter of Chama Humane for many years,
serving on the board, taking on routine volunteer tasks, and
helping at fundraisers. She was greatly appreciated for her
straightforward honesty, incisive intellect and ability to cut to
the chase, and kindness and willingness to help.
Susan is survived by her husband, Jack Langston, of Chama,
NM, sister, Cindy Wilson of Alexandria, VA, and brother, David
Schaler, of Panama City Beach, FL. Jack will continue to care
for their muchloved mini-Aussie, Comet, and their personable
tabby cat, Tigger.
Chama Humane Society has created
The Susan Langston Memorial Fund
to continue and expand our monthly Pet Pantry. Susan often helped with the Pet Pantry, which provides dog and cat food and straw to local pet owners in need. We feel it exemplifies her dedication to bettering the lives of the people and animals of our community. You can contribute via PayPal (click on the Donate button below), check (see address below), or Facebook. Please specify that the donation is in honor of Susan (this requires a message or other communication if you donate via Facebook.)
Our mailing address is PO Box 131, Chama, NM.
