Person:Susan Goschie (1)

Biography

Susan was born to farmer Herman Goschie and his loving wife Vernice on January 21, 1947. From the moment she was born she brought joy to everybody whose life she bounded through. She graduated from Silverton High School in 1965 and, eager to explore the world, earned her Bachelors degree in Sociology at Lewis and Clark in a less than 3 years.

A brief stint in social work followed, but the small-town girl found herself a little shell-shocked by big-city problems and made a fashionable spin into the Meier and Frank Company. Susan quickly worked her way through the ranks to become the company's Fashion and Merchandising Director, where she rubbed elbows with Portland's "ladies who lunch". Seeking a change of pace, she did another about-face and retreated to Central Oregon, where she lived in a teepee and spent countless hours on the Metolius inhaling the majesty of nature. Eventually, Susan would whirl back to Portland where she co-owned the Goschie-Levy Advertising Agency. In her later professional years, she returned to her hometown and served as Marketing and Communications Director for Silverton Health—where she would argue she did her best work.
