Susan Lima

Susan Lima, 64, of Pampa, passed away on July 21, 2024, in Amarillo with her family by her side.

The family will have a private remembrance for Susan at a later date. Arrangements and cremation care are under the direction of Carmichael- Whatley Funeral Directors and Crematory.

Susan was born on June 9, 1960, in Kittery, Maine to Richard and Patricia Lima. As a young girl, her family moved often due to her father’s military service. Eventually, her family moved to Fairfield, California where she later graduated school. A few years after high school, Susan would begin her family.

In the early 1990’s, Susan would move to Texas, first living in Booker, and then settling in Pampa. She worked in customer service for many years at various places that included Wal-Mart, and as a self-employed owner/operator of Suzy Q’s Barbeque. Susan met and served many people within the ten years of owning her business. 

In her spare time, she found enjoyment working in her garden and doing arts and crafts. However, spending time with her family was the most important thing to her. She will be remembered as a caring person who put others before herself.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

Susan is survived by two children, Alicia Pulpan and husband Asa of Fort Worth, and Michael Rickley and wife Michaela of Pampa; three grandchildren, Carolynn Lossie of Fort Worth, Zachary Frazier of Bremerton, WA, and Myles Rickley of Pampa; a sister, Angela Roberts and husband Ron of Wittmann, AZ; nephew, Brandon Roberts of Wittmann, AZ; niece, Lauryn Roberts of Wittmann, AZ; a brother, Richard Lima of Woodland, CA; and by other extended family members from California to the East Coast
