Susan Louise Gilreath-Dixon

October 15, 1961 – April 30, 2025

With love and gratitude, we remember Susan Louise Gilreath-Dixon, born in Cherokee, Iowa, and raised in Long Beach, California. She passed away on April 30, 2025, in Murrieta, California.

Susan was the beloved daughter of Dorothy and Claude Gilreath, Jr., sister to Craig, Claude, and Brian, and wife of the late Glenn Dixon, with whom she shared 35 years of marriage. Together they raised four children—Shane, Vanessa, Melanie, and Charlotte—and Susan was a proud grandmother of Victoria and Syah.

A devoted educator and volunteer, she worked in the Long Beach and Victor Valley School Districts and served joyfully at High Desert Church. She loved travel, completing 70 destinations from “100 Places to See Before You Die,” enjoyed over 15 cruises, countless road trips, and cherished time at the beach, Disneyland, concerts, and with her pets.

Susan faced cancer with extraordinary strength, courage, and grace—living far beyond expectations while continuing to show kindness, gratitude, and love to everyone around her. She was known for her adventurous spirit, gentle heart, and favorite saying:

“Life is about creating memories.”

Her resilience and love will remain an inspiration, and her legacy will live on in all who knew her.
