November 1, 1944 - August 18, 2024Susan Cecelia Waterhouse, 79, passed away peacefully at Baptist Health Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, on Sunday, August 18, 2024. Born November 1, 1944, in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of the late Graydon and Ruhamah Fisher.
In addition to her father and mother, Susan was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond Waterhouse; brother, Charlie Fisher, and step-grandchild, Annmarie Gentile.
Susan was a devoted wife, daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, nurse, and friend.

A regular at the vendor’s mall, she always found a bargain and made new friends. Her family’s biggest cheerleader, she was often seen in KY blue or Liberty red and never missed a family event.
Throughout her 50-year nursing career, Sue worked at various hospitals, private offices, Kaiser Permanente, and concluded her career at Baptist Hospital in Corbin. She held roles as a floor nurse, advice nurse, diabetes and allergy nurse, and team manager.
Sue had a talent for making friends wherever she went and delighted in giving hand-painted and unique, practical gifts. She stayed in touch with her nursing colleagues, high school friends, and family, always cherishing those connections.

Posted at 16:05h, 20 AugustMy lovely neighbor. Was always ready for her next insightful or totally crazy question. Her last request, before she went to hospital, was to request I cut the front third of my tree off so she could improve her view. We’ll miss you, my sweet lady.
