Susan received several nominations for the Island Spirit Award. The nominations for Susan stated, “Susan is always cheerful and upbeat. She is very helpful with customer’s questions and is willing to help”. “Working with Susan keeps my spirits up. She always has a funny comment and has a heart of gold”. “Susan always makes me feel better and truly invokes the true Island Spirit. She is the definition of southern hospitality. She greets every customer as a friend and is a joy and inspiration”.
In addition to a plaque, Susan received an ‘Island Spirit’ lapel pin, a cash award, flowers from Flowers by the Shore and a one night stay at the Hilton Garden Inn in Orange Beach.
