Susan Buchanan Gaddy

Susan Buchanan Gaddy, (AKA, gg) born on July 10, 1945, passed away peacefully on January 3, 2025 in Gainesville, GA, where she had recently moved to be closer to family. She was the beloved daughter of Thomas and Tensie Belle Buchanan and grew up alongside her two brothers and three sisters in Marion, Alabama.

Susan attended Judson College in Marion, Alabama, laying the foundation for a professional career as an accountant in Selma, Alabama, where her skills and professionalism were highly valued. As a professional, she valued the relationships she developed with her colleagues where she forged many lifelong friendships.

As a mother, survived by; two sons, Charles Anthony Dickinson, James Michael Dickinson and stepdaughter, Jacqueline Wynona Gaddy, Susan embraced her role with love and care. Arguably a second mother to the neighborhood children, she created a warm and welcoming environment for all who crossed her path. Her generosity extended beyond her family; she was passionate about helping others and often gave selflessly to those in need.

A devoted “gg” to Garrett Dickinson, Madelynn Dickinson, Leah Gaddy, & Brady Dickinson, Susan cherished taking her family on vacations, creating lasting memories filled with joy and togetherness. Her faith was central to her life, and she was an active member of Shady Grove Baptist Church. Susan not only attended services faithfully but also contributed generously to the church community and volunteered her accounting expertise to support its mission.

Susan will be remembered for her boundless generosity, unwavering passion, and the love she shared with everyone around her. May her memory bring comfort to all who knew her.
