She was born on December 21, 1956, in High Point and was the daughter of the late Thomas Otho and Thelma Lee Leake. Susan began her career in the grocery business where she worked as a front-end manager for several different stores. Around 1990, she transitioned in banking with the help of her good friend beginning at American Bank. She later moved to High Point Bank where she worked for twenty-five years. She had many customers that called her for all their personal banking needs. Susan enjoyed riding horses and was a social butterfly with an outgoing personality, always with a smile, talking to everyone.In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, Gary Leake. Susan is survived by her husband, Mark Edward Hutton, whom she married on June 21, 1980; he was devoted to her and took care of her during her illness. She is also survived by her son, Matthew Hutton, who was the love of her life and gave her so much support, of New York City; and two sisters, Carol Cloninger of Gastonia and Delores Leake of High Point. The family will hold a private memorial service celebrating Susan’s life at a later date.
