Susan's favorite hobbies

Even though she became legally blind, she was a voracious reader. She loved audio books of all kinds and would finish them faster than anyone I know. Her friends were thoughtful checking out books on CD from her from their respective library. And when she got an Amazon Echo with an Audible subscription she was thrilled!
