Susan Louise Reinhardt (née Uhlenkott), beloved mother, sister, and grandmother, passed away peacefully at her home in Manzanita, Oregon on May 6th, at the age of 73, surrounded by family and friends. Born in Cottonwood, Idaho, Susan graduated from Gonzaga University with an advanced degree in nursing, subsequently dedicating her career to others as a nurse practitioner in Spokane, Washington.
Susan’s later life was a vibrant tapestry of community involvement and personal passions. She was an enthusiastic participant in dragon boating, an artist in stained glass, and loved playing pickleball. She loved cooking and baking, as well as tending to both her own garden and volunteering at the Manzanita Community Garden. Susan led book sorting for the annual book sale to support the Manzanita Library.
Susan leaves behind her daughter, Casey (Nick) Hubeek; son, William (Matt) Reinhardt; son Shawn (Lakshmi) Burke; partner, Steve Miller; sisters, Jean (Mike) Walters and Anna (Ed) Brannan; and adored grandchildren, Henry and Oliver Hubeek and Mira and Maya Burke.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to either the Manzanita Public Library or the Lower Nehalem Community Trust.
