Susan Kiefner Cage, age 95, of Georgetown, Texas passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 13, 2024. Susan was born September 28, 1928, in Houston, Texas. She was the only child of Rene Lowry Kiefner and Charles Harold Kiefner. Her early schooling was scattered in several Texas cities, but was mainly in Houston. She attended Woodrow Wilson Elementary School and Sidney Lanier Junior High School. She graduated from Lamar High School in 1945. Susan received an associate of arts degree from Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri in 1947, and a bachelor of arts degree in geology from the University of Texas at Austin in 1950.
Susan met her future husband while both were majoring in Geology at the University of Texas. She and Warren Jackson Cage Jr. (Jack) were married April 11, 1953. Susan entered employment with Gulf Oil Corporation in August of 1950 as a file clerk, then draftsman. Later, she was promoted to geologist, retiring in 1983. She and Jack lived in Houston, Corpus Christi, and Bakersfield, California. Both she and Jack enjoyed traveling, especially in the western United States.
After retiring, they built a home in Fair Oaks Ranch, north of San Antonio, Texas. They thoroughly enjoyed the hills and wildlife as well as their pets, Patty the cat and Charlie the dog. They later adopted Molly the cat who came to their door. In 1998, after Jack’s health deteriorated due to Parkinson’s disease, they moved to Sun City, Georgetown, Texas. She again pursued her interests in nature as a member of the Sun City Nature Club. Jack passed away on November 13, 2006.
A very special thanks to the staff of the Wesleyan at Estrella for their care and concern for Susan.
