Susan Denbow

Susan Leigh Sprott Denbow was born on June 26, 1946, in San Angelo, Tx to Troy & Lucille Sprott. During her childhood, she and her family lived on Multiple Air Force Bases, namely in Altus Ok, Seattle, Washington and Ft worth Texas. Susan & Linda Gail were inseparable, they always dressed to perfection in matching dresses, made by their grandmother, and beautiful blonde curls. These were such fond memories of being, as they called themselves, “Air Force Brats”. Later in life they share memories of raising their children, gymnastics meets and lately, their weekly Saturday morning talks. Susan graduated from Ernest Harmon High School, in Stephenville, Newfoundland, where she was a member of the High School Choir. After graduation, Susan moved to Corsicana, Tx to attend Navarro College while living with her Grandparents. While attending Navarro, Susan met the Love of her life at a High School Baseball game. Her Friend Linda Crawford invited her to come with her to see her boyfriend play “Ball”. While at the game, she was introduced to her future husband, Eddie Denbow, brother of Linda Crawfords boyfriend. After marrying, settling in Corsicana and raising a family, Susan decided it was finally time to follow her life long dream of becoming a Nurse. With a daughter in middle school, a son in elementary school and another son who was just a toddler, she registered again at Navarro and graduated in 1980 from El Centro College Nursing School. After graduation, Susan started working with Dr. Joe McNally, Allergist and then Dr. James Spier in Pediatrics at Medical Arts Clinic. In 1990, Susan was hired as a School nurse for Blooming Grove, Mildred and Frost ISD’s where she continued working through her retirement. Susan’s greatest joys were her children and grandchildren. And they all loved their Grandmama with all their heart. There was not one thing asked of her that she would not bend over backwards to try and help do. She was an advid reader and was well known at the local Library. More importantly than anything else, Susan was a follower of Jesus Christ and it showed in her life everyday as she served. And oh did she serve. She loved rocking those babies and singing to them. We know, without a doubt, she is rocking Heavens babies. There is no way to count the number of lives she has touched in both her job, her ministry and as a member of her Community. She was preceded in death by her Parents, CM/Sgt Troy & Lucille Sprott of Corsicana, Grandparents, Mr & Mrs. LV (Mildred) Clark of Corsicana and Roy & Emma Cantrell of Del Rio, Tx.
