OBITUARIES
Susan Joan Adkison
Tualatin
Feb. 17, 1957 — Jan. 14, 2022
Susan Joan Adkison, of
Tualatin, went to be with her
Lord and Savior on Jan. 14,
2022, after a courageous,
protracted battle with meta-
static cancer and lung fi bro-
sis. She died peacefully, sur-
rounded by her family.
Susan was born Feb. 17,
1957, in Riverside, Cal-
ifornia, where her father
was stationed with the U.S.
Air Force. She grew up in
the coastal community of
Eureka, California.
After graduating from
Eureka High School in 1975,
she moved to New York to
become a fl ight attendant for
Pan American World Air-
ways. She loved travel and
gourmet foods and her time
at Pan Am allowed her to see
and experience much of the
world.
Some years later, she
returned to Eureka to com-
plete an accounting degree.
After graduating from Hum-
boldt State University, she
worked for Touche Ross in
the Bay Area, and during
that time obtained her cer-
tifi ed public accountant
license.
In 1996, Susan moved
to Eugene to accept a posi-
tion as a tax accountant with
Coopers & Lybrand, later
transitioning to corporate
accounting with John Labatt
Foods. That fall she met the
love of her life, and husband
of 33 years, Dan.
The couple married two
years later, in 1988, and
moved to Lake Oswego.
They
welcomed
their
daughter, Kathleen, in July
1991. Susan left the work-
force a short time later and
transitioned to being a full-
time mom, something she
referred to as her “best job
ever.”
The couple moved to
Tualatin in 1994, and were
blessed to be surrounded
by amazing friends and
neighbors. They split time
between their home in Tuala-
tin and a lovingly restored
beach cottage in Gearhart,
built in 1906.
During the pandemic,
they became full-time Gear-
hart residents. It was coming
full circle for Susan, once
A 41-year-old Seaside man was
arrested at his home last Thursday
and charged with multiple counts of
encouraging child sexual abuse.
Detectives from the Seaside, War-
renton, and Cannon Beach police
departments, as well as the Clatsop
County Sheriff ’s Offi ce with joint
assistance from Oregon and Wash-
ington’s Department of Justice and
Internet Crimes Against Children
investigators, conducted a search
warrant at the residence of John M.
again living in a vibrant
oceanfront
community,
much like during her youth.
She enjoyed the coast air,
strolling the pristine beaches
and watching for birds and
whales as they migrated
south for the winter.
Susan was a kind and
gentle spirit, a person with
boundless enthusiasm, and
someone who invested her
heart and soul into the care
and well-being of her family
and friends.
Susan’s love for her cre-
ator was evident through-
out her life, and served as
an example to all who knew
and loved her.
Susan was preceded in
death by her parents, Gregg
and Joan Conlan; her sister,
Amy Conlan; and sister-in-
law, Susan Mumby.
She is survived by her
husband, Dan Adkison;
daughter, Kathleen Adkison;
sister, Katy Conlan and her
partner, Jeanne Tuft; broth-
er-in-law, Tom Adkison; sis-
ter-in law, Joanna (Adkison)
Small and her husband,
Kelly Small; brother-in-law,
Rick Zabel; nephew, Grant
Small, and his wife, Beth-
any; niece, Allison (Small)
Montgomery, and her hus-
band, Nathan; niece, Scout
Zabel; and a host of beloved
great-nieces and nephews,
extended family members,
friends and neighbors.
In lieu of fl owers, the
family asks that remem-
brances be made to the Pul-
monary Fibrosis Founda-
tion of Oregon or a charity
of your choosing.
Susan’s celebration of
life ceremony will be held at
later date, to be announced.
