Susan Kaye Torres

Susan Torres, 79, of Lexington, Missouri passed away Tuesday, June 18, 2024, at Anew Health and Rehab in Odessa, Missouri surrounded by her loving family. 

Susan was born on July 24, 1944, in Hobbs, New Mexico to Wilfred P. and Kathryn Mary Bell (Briggs) Eoff. After graduating from Sullivan High School in 1962, Susan went on to receive her bachelor’s degree from University of Missouri in English. Susan’s first career was working for NOAA starting as a supply clerk and working her way up to GS8 for 20 years. Then she found solace in the healing touch of massage therapy, where she embarked on a path of compassion, owning and operating her successful massage therapy business for over two decades in Independence and Lexington. Along with spending time with family and friends, Susan was an avid reader of all things spiritual and biographies. She also enjoyed politics. 

Susan is survived by five children, Patrick (Tene Tene) Green of Lawrence, KS, Andrew (Amy) Green of Topeka, KS, Sarah Green of Shawnee KS, Rebecca Torres of Lexington, MO, and Robyn Flanigan of Lexington, MO; seven grandchildren, Kyle Green, Ryann Green, Kaylie Green, Alianna Slater, Karalena Steinhauser, Gabriella Flanigan, and Bradyn Flanigan; and many relatives, and friends. 

Susan was preceded in death by both her parents.
