Peacefully and surrounded by her family, Susan Gayle Adrian of Casper, passed away far too early on
Wednesday, August 11, 2021 at 63 years young.
She was born to Ralph and Donna Hanson on July 3, 1958, in Billings, MT. Susan graduated from Custer
County High School in 1976 and went on to receive an Associate degree from NCB in Rapid City, where
she met her lifelong sweetheart, David Adrian. They married in 1978, started their family a year later,
and planted roots in Casper in 1986.
Susan will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 43 years, David Adrian; 3 children: Amber Smith
of Newport Beach, CA; Tara Dye of Casper, WY; and Tyler Adrian of Thornton, CO. She is also survived
by a legacy of 5 adoring grandchildren that were her pride and joy: Tawnee, Taeyln, Brixton, Sloane and
Deaton; her mother, Donna Hanson; sister, Lori Newell; as well as numerous relatives and friends. She is
preceded by her father, Ralph Hanson who she has joined in Heaven.
Susan was a hardworking woman. Being a mother was her first priority and when her children were of
school age, she dedicated 29 years to Tubescope Inc. and most currently H&G Karst Industries.
Although loyal to her career, Susan never missed one of her children's or grandchildren's activities. She
was the perfect balance of sweetness, sarcasm and a dry sense of humor. Susan was the rock of her
family and being together was of her most cherished and favorite activities. Apart from family, she
enjoyed tending her garden and happy hour in her backyard.
A Memorial Service will be held at Restoration Church Saturday, August 21st at 4:00 pm. In honor of
Susan's favorite color and sunshine character, guests are encouraged to wear yellow.
