Susan May Zelenak, 70 of Maysville, passed away Sunday at First Health Hospice of Pinehurst, NC. Susan was a loving wife and mother who was also known by many of her friends as “Smurf”. She was a proud Army Veteran who continued looking out for service members through her support of veteran’s causes such as Yellow Ribbon and Wounded Warriors. In her spare time she enjoyed riding motorcycles and she loved tending to all manner of plants, trees, and flowers as a Master Gardener in Onslow County. She was loved and will be missed by many.
