Helen “Susie” Ruth Wright Stevens, age 73, of US 60 East, Morehead, KY, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, surrounded by loved ones.

Born October 21, 1952, in Mt. Sterling, KY, she was the daughter of the late Ransome Wright and Meda Grace Conway Wright. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Gary Stevens, who passed away on October 10, 2019; one brother, Jimmy Wright; an infant granddaughter, Ruth Lynn Osborne; and her beloved granddaughter, Autumn Lynn Short.

Susie leaves behind to cherish her memory one daughter, Angie Sebastian and Johnny of Augusta, KY; two sons, Chad Osborne of Idaho and Wayne Stevens of Morehead; six grandchildren, Noah Stevens, Ethan Stevens, Caleb Short, Erica Osborne, Madison Osborne, and Gracie Osborne.

Other survivors include one sister, Carrie Seat of Valdosta, Georgia; three brothers, Howard “Sammy” Wright of Ashland, KY, Everett Wright of St. Cloud, Florida, and John Paul Wright of Morehead, KY, as well as numerous nieces and nephews, her cousin, Lue Rhetta Roberson, with whom she had a “Thelma and Louise” relationship; and her loving church family.

In 1974, Susie graduated from Morehead State University with a bachelor's degree in education and a minor in social work. A natural caregiver, she devoted nearly 20 years to serving as a nurse's aide at the Life Care Center. She later worked for Community Alternatives of Kentucky as a House Manager, retiring in 2010.

Susie expressed her love for family and friends through her cooking and took great joy in preparing meals for those she loved. She also enjoyed crocheting, embroidery, and needlepoint. Above all, her life centered on her family, and she cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren.

A devoted woman of faith, Susie was a faithful member of Rock Fork Church of God, where she was actively involved in the church and its women's group. Susie wanted others to know she was going to another place and loved Jesus with her whole heart. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, compassion, and unwavering faith that will continue to inspire all who knew and loved her.
