Susie Venable Jamison, of Roanoke, Virginia, died on Monday, September 14, 2020, at the age of 80. She was preceded in death by her father, Eugene Roan Venable (1944); her mother, Susie Venable Mangus (1991); her stepfather, Cary Frederick Mangus (1998); her brother, Cary Frederick Mangus, Jr. (1948); and her husband, Thomas Wyndham Jamison (1987).
She is survived by her sister, Eliza Venable Smith; son, Thomas Wyndham Jamison, Jr. and his wife, Suzanna Connick Jamison, and their daughter, Lauren; son, Frederick Mangus Jamison and his wife, Julie Meger Jamison and their two children, Cammy and Cole; daughter, Ann Jamison Wellborn and her husband, Christopher Andrew Wellborn and their three children, Maia, Katherine and Anna; and son, Robert Andrew Jamison and his wife, Sydney McDaniel Jamison and three children, Drew, Mary Wyndham and Charlie.
She was a devoted wife, mother, and friend. Born into generations of educators, she valued education, taught math and physics, and recognized each individual’s unique gifts. She never shrank from a challenge nor remained silent in the face of any injustice to others. She loved to read and travel. Her children and grandchildren were fortunate to share many adventures with her. A private family burial at Hollins College will be planned for a later date.
