Susan Kay Thomas

Susan Kay (Hitchcock) Thomas, 77, of Zanesville, died at 9:52 A.M. on Thursday, February 27, 2025, at Genesis Hospital, Zanesville. She was born March 14, 1947, in Shawnee, Ohio, a daughter of the late Dorothy (McLean) and Robert Hitchcock. Sue loved to laugh and was quite the jokester, a “rambunctious hellion” while also being the kindest person you could ever meet. She deeply loved her grandkids and great grandkids. She was an avid Ohio State Buckeyes and Cleveland Browns fan. She enjoyed shopping at Wal-Mart, scrolling through Facebook, having her snacks, and watching her shows.

She is survived by a daughter, Jennifer (Justin Dunkle) Stevens; a son, John (Audrey Marts) Saxton; a brother, Keith (Barb) Hitchcock; grandchildren, Adrianna (Robert Anderson) Stevens, William (Chey Strain) Stevens Jr., Jordan Stevens, David Acevedo, Laken (Mike) Degarmo, Heather Hitchcock, David Hitchcock Jr., Alisha (Heidi Aronhalt) Saxton, Savannah Saxton, adopted granddaughter, Ash; sister-in-law, Val Hitchcock; and many great grandchildren; a niece; four nephews; and her Fur baby, Pixie.

In addition to her parents she is preceded in death by her sons, David Hitchcock Sr. and Brian Saxton Sr.; grandson, Brian Saxton Jr.; a brother Thomas Hitchcock; sister, Sandy Yester; son-in-law, William (Bert) Stevens Sr.; and sisters-in-law, Winnie Hitchcock and Debbie Hitchcock.
