Susan Zix MT. PLEASANT - Susan Boldrick Zix, lovingly called, "Nan", passed away Saturday, December 15 at Hospice of Charleston. She was 96 years young and lived every minute to the fullest and always had a smile on her face. She was born December 3, 1916 in her beloved Louisville, KY. She married Irvin T. Zix and moved to Petersburg, VA in 1936 where they lived for 66 years. She was a lifelong active member of Christ and Grace Episcopal Church. Susan moved to Mt. Pleasant, SC in 2011 to be closer to family and joyfully lived at Somerby of Mt. Pleasant.
