Susan Marie (Randels) Hixson
Susie Hixson, age 66, of Columbus, Ohio, passed away peacefully February 4, 2024, at Riverside Hospital after a courageous battle with aggressive cancer. She was born July 10, 1957, in Columbus to her parents James and Helen Randels. Susie is survived by Harry Hixson, her husband of 38 years, as well as by her parents who reside at First Community Village, Columbus. She is also survived by her sister, Linda Leffel (Jim); nephew, Tim Leffel (Dunja); niece, Amy Condon (Devin); aunt, Anita Mae Beckstrom; many cousins; nephews, David Waits, Jeffrey Waits, along with Harrys siblings, Annalee Hixson and Gale Hixson.
Susie graduated in 1975 from Whetstone High School, then went on to earn a bachelor's degree in elementary education at OSU in 1982. She was a very friendly and caring person. Susie's passion was her work at Colerain Elementary School where she served as Special Education Instructional Assistant. Susie will surely be missed by all who knew her. She appreciated the many visits, phone calls and cards from friends and relatives, especially cousins, Jack, Jill and Marti, as well as her small group at New Life Gahanna and her best friend, Tracey. Susie liked sharing her deep faith in Jesus with people she met.
Calling hours are at Moreland Funeral Home, Westerville, 12-1 p.m., on Saturday, March 2, 2024 with a celebration of life immediately following at 1:00 p.m.. In lieu of flowers, please honor Susie by donating to Colerain Elementary, Columbus Public Schools.

Me, Susie, Karen Manning and Martha Milligan were roommates with Susie in a big house in Clintonville while we attended Xenos church. Susie was a refreshing bubbly person, with delicate, thoughtful manners, and the ability to make others feel safe and loved. Fortunately, my husband and I were attending New Life Church and occasionally visited after the service. Susie was like a big sister to me. Love to your family during your sorrow. God bless -

My deepest sympathies to Susie’s Loved Ones ❤️. I worked with Susie at her special school ❤️. She was a kind and faith filled women who loved her special students! We also prayed together as members of New Life Church! I didn’t know until recently that our parents also live in the same senior living community and go to the same Upper Arlington church! God must have wanted us to share life together ❤️. I feel blessed 🙏
