Rhoda Susan Friedman, known by most as Susie, born June 13, 1951, in Norman, OK, passed away suddenly on March 11, 2025 at her home in Van Nuys, CA. She was the beloved daughter of Dr. Orville McClure Woodson and Rhoda Marie Woodson. The youngest sibling to her brothers, Dr. Jeffery Woodson and William "Bill" Woodson.

With a deep passion for human connection, and friendship , she dedicated her life to caring for others. As a registered nurse, she touched many lives with her kindness and compassion, and also found joy in her many years with Mary Kay Cosmetics. 

She is survived by her loving daughters, Caroline Suzanne Friedman and Whitney Friedman Barajas; her cherished grandchildren, Cadence and Chloe Haden; and her oldest brother, Jeffery Woodson. She was preceded in death by her parents, Orville and Rhoda, her brother, "Bill," and her former husband, Alan Friedman. 

Above all, she was a devoted sister, mother, and grandmother who will be dearly missed.

Arrangements are under the care of Forest Lawn, Glendale, CA.
