Susan Elizabeth Wiscombe

August 9, 2026

Susan Elizabeth Wiscombe, 67, of Pensacola, Florida, passed away on August 5, 2026. She was born on September 17, 1958, in Pensacola, where she lived her entire life.

She attended Little Flower Catholic School and graduated from Pensacola Catholic High School in 1976.

Susan was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Lyle Wiscombe; her parents, Bruce Merritt, Sr. and Marjorie Bledsoe Merritt; and her brother, Bryan Eric Merritt.

She is survived by her daughters, Amanda (Matthew) Waite and Heather (Christopher) Schultz; her beloved grandchildren, Mason Waite, Emerson Waite, Grayson Waite, Colton Schultz, and Cooper Schultz; and her siblings, Bruce Merritt, Jr., Bert Merritt, Ginger Goldbach, and Edye Lau.

Susan dedicated many years to caring for her home and family as a stay-at-home wife and mother. She had a quick sense of humor, a determined spirit, and was never afraid to do things her own way. In later years, some of her happiest moments were spent sitting on her porch, watching the birds and enjoying the peacefulness of home.

Above all, Susan loved her grandchildren. She cherished the time she spent caring for them when they were young, and being their grandmother was one of the greatest joys of her life. They will carry with them the memories of the time they shared together and the love she had for them.

Susan will be remembered with love by her family, who will miss her deeply and hold her memory close in their hearts.

Family and friends are invited to visit with the family on Saturday, August 15, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Faith Chapel North in Cantonment, Florida. A funeral service will follow at 12:00 p.m., with interment immediately following in Cottage Hill Community Cemetery.
