Susan Denise (Marshall) Black

Susan passed away peacefully at Riverview Regional Medical Center on November 7, 2026. She was born in Gadsden, Alabama, in 1962, to Walter Curtis “Curt” and Jaqueline Betterton “Jackie” Marshall.

She grew up in East Gadsden with her four brothers and many lifelong friends. Susan attended Litchfield High School and graduated with the class of 1980. She went on in life to marry Gary Michael “Mike” Black on May 12, 1989, in Etowah County, Alabama. Together they welcomed one daughter, Jordan Rea Black Humphries.

Susan was preceded in death by her parents, Curt and Jackie Marshall; her brother, Mark Marshall; and her grandsons, Braxton and Raylin Harp.

She is survived by her loving husband, Mike Black; daughter, Jordan Black Humphries (Mason); grandsons, Kaid and Rylin Harp; brothers, Brad, Lynn “Boss,” and Keith Marshall; along with so many nieces, nephews, friends, and chosen family.

Susan never met a stranger, lived life to the fullest, and loved making people laugh. She took her role of “MA” very seriously and loved taking her babies for ice cream, shopping, and creek swimming. She always brought treats to share and was the biggest supporter of everyone she loved.

The memorial service will be Thursday, November 12, at Crestwood Memorial Cemetery & Funeral Home. Friends and family are welcome at 1:30 p.m., and the service will begin at 2:00 p.m. in the chapel.

There will not be a graveside service to follow
