While very young, she bowled with the Detroit’s best bowlers in the Ladies Major League and the All Star Bowlerettes.

Here highest average was 198 during the 1987/88 season. She maintained an average in the 190’s from 1979 through 1994/95, last season bowled. 300 games were hard to come by during that period so the closest she could come to that was 288 and a 700 series.

Susan was captain of the C. F. Plastics team when they won the Actual event in 1984 with a score of 2969, in the State Tournament.

Participating in the WIBC Tournaments, Susan finished 3rd in the Singles in 1973 with a score of 682 and 2nd in 1976, rolling 662. 

Locally, she won the singles with a score of 659 in 1974 and was a member of the winning team in 1977 with a score of 2845. Those scores don’t compare with the current 700’s, 800’s and 3500’s but we must remember, bowling equipment and conditions have changed.
