Susan Dockery
February 16, 1958 – May 31, 2025


Susan was a proud graduate of Sam Houston High School. She met the love of her life, John David Dockery, in Houston, and the two were married on June 2, 1978. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and shared passions.

Susan had a deep love for her family and a special fondness for her cats. She also enjoyed the thrill of NASCAR and found great joy in baking for those she loved.

She is preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Jennifer Dockery; brother, Michael Gibbons; her parents, Junior and Emma Omalee Gibbons, and her grandparents Jessie and Susie Gibbons and William and Ethel Shaw.

Susan’s memory will be lovingly cherished by her devoted husband, John David Dockery; daughter, Beth Dockery; her cherished grand-dogs Ty, Coal, and Shadow; and a host of extended family members and dear friends.
