Susan Lambright Rider, 61, of Oberlin, Louisiana, passed away peacefully at her home on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, surrounded by the love and memories of a life well lived.

Susan was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose kindness and generous heart touched the lives of everyone she met. She never met a stranger and was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Her warm personality, contagious laughter, and genuine love for others made her a cherished presence in the lives of her family and friends.

Susan found her greatest joy in spending time with those she loved. She enjoyed arts and crafts, family gatherings, and making lasting memories with her children and grandchildren, who affectionately called her “Nana.” She had a special appreciation for nature, especially yellow roses, which were her favorite flowers. She also enjoyed listening to old country music, particularly the songs of Conway Twitty, which brought her much happiness.

Above all, Susan loved her husband, children, and grandchildren wholeheartedly, and she made sure they knew just how much they meant to her. Whether sharing stories, enjoying family get-togethers, or spending hours on the phone with her best friend, Becky, Susan treasured life’s simple moments. Her love extended beyond her immediate family to her many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

Susan’s family will forever cherish the love she gave so freely, the memories she helped create, and the countless lives she touched. Her beautiful spirit will live on through those who loved her, and her memory will remain a blessing for generations to come.

Susan leaves behind a legacy of unconditional love, beautiful memories, shared laughter, and a heart that was truly too big for this world. Though she will be deeply missed, her memory will forever remain in the hearts of all who were blessed to know and love her.
