Some are taken from this world too early and another great woman has made it to heaven. Susan "Susie" Lynn Conners Johnson, age 52, of North East died on Friday, August 10, 2012 at UPMC Hamot due to a motorcycle accident. On May 17, 1960 in East St. Louis, Illinois Susan was born to the late Thomas R. and Ruth N. Yeargain Conners. In 1979 she graduated Harborcreek High School and was currently, along with her husband Chris, owner and operator of Townline Tavern in North East. One of the greatest treasures in Susan's life was spending time with her three grandchildren and family. Living life to the fullest, Susan enjoyed motorcycling, snowmobiling, country line dancing, bowling, outdoors and cooking. She was a member of A.B.A.T.E, North East Loyal Order of Moose Lodge, and North East American Legion Post 105. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by brothers, Gary A. and Thomas Conners, Jr. Survivors include her best friend and husband of 33 years, Christopher L.
