Susanne Lee Keener-Lion, 60, of Unionville, departed her Earthly life after a brief illness on Friday, September 11, 2020. She was born in Alexandria, Virginia to the late Donald Howell Clark and Lona Louise McGowan Clark and spent her early years in Northern Virginia. Susanne was self-employed as a tax preparer and bookkeeper for many years.

Left behind to cherish her memory are her mother Lona; her children: Stephen Keener (Brenda), Jess Keener, and LeeAnn Battle (Jeroce); her grandchildren: Kaitlyn, Eric, Alexander, Elizabeth, Quanisha, Shaniqua, Daquan, Jaquan, Kirstin and Kaidence; her great-grandbaby Avery; her brother Terry Clark (Carrie) and several dear nieces and nephews. Susanne was predeceased by her father, Donald; her brother, Bruce; her infant sister, Kitty Jean; and her beloved daughter Dawn Louise Keener.
A graveside service will be held for Susanne at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, 2020 at Lebanon United Methodist Church Cemetery in Montross, Virginia.
