Susan Cummins

July 28, 1950 – July 2, 2026

Susan Cummins, 75, passed away peacefully on July 2, 2026, in Fullerton, California, after a courageous year-long battle with cancer.

Born on July 28, 1950, in Laramie, Wyoming, Susan was the daughter of Vernal "Bucky" and Lois Wamhoff. She grew up in Laramie with her three siblings and graduated from Laramie High School with the Class of 1968.

Susan met the love of her life, Gary, while they were both working at the University of Wyoming. Their first date was on July 4, 1965, at the Jubilee Days Carnival in Laramie. They were married four years later at St. Lawrence O'Toole Catholic Church, beginning a loving marriage that lasted 57 years.

After welcoming their son, Matthew, Susan and Gary moved to California in 1973, where they made their home and built a life together. Susan enjoyed a fulfilling career in the medical field, where she was known for her compassion, warmth, and ability to make lasting friendships. She had a special gift for bringing comfort and kindness to those around her.

Family was the center of Susan's life. She treasured traveling, spending time with family and friends, and especially her role as "Grandma." Her grandchildren, Thomas and Caralee, brought her immeasurable joy and were among her greatest blessings.

Susan was preceded in death by her parents, Vernal "Bucky" and Lois Wamhoff, and her sister, Barbara (George) Brower.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 57 years, Gary Cummins; her son, Matthew (Joy) Cummins; her beloved grandchildren, Thomas (10) and Caralee (7); her brother, Gary (Charlene) Wamhoff of Laramie, Wyoming; her sister, Linda (Sam) Kotby of Laramie, Wyoming; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will miss her deeply.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Laramie, Wyoming, at a later date. Service details will be announced when available.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Foundation for Juvenile Arthritis in Susan's memory.
