Susan Price Johnson, age 78, of Hot Springs, S.D., passed away peacefully on September 29, 2025, at Monument Health in Rapid City, S.D.
Born in Grafton, Ohio, Susan was the daughter of Margaret (Nolan) and Norman Price.

She was known for her love of puzzles, punning, exploring caves, and auto touring across the United States, always seeking new sights and quiet adventures. Her hobbies included science fiction, gardening, cooking, volunteering for veterans, and a special fondness for carousels.
She was preceded in death by her parents; sister-in-law, Carolyn (Johsnon) Christopher; and brothers-in-law, Edward and Harry Johnson.
Susan is survived by her husband, Clyde; her niece, Allison (Johnson) Dalton, and her husband, Chris, of England, and their daughter, Katey; and other beloved cousins, nieces, and nephews; two sisters-in-law, LaDonna and Esther, of California; and her brother-in-law, Art, of Texas.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Legion Auxiliary in Hot Springs, South Dakota, in Susan’s memory.
