Susan Rose Ingraham

Susan Rose Ingraham, age 65 of Franklin, TN took the hand of the Lord peacefully April 28, 2024.  Susan was a 1976 graduate of Page High School where she was the very first Miss Page High School. During her early years, Susan was active with 4-H, FFA, and other school activities both in high school and college. She studied business management, training and development, and interior design at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She was responsible for leading the team that created the first training program for Ethan Allen Furniture and then went on to lead the development team for a training program with LAZYBOY Furniture. Susan later started Tap Root Farm Event Center and Equestrian Program and has been the creator of Big Time Fun ever since. Her program was not just a business to her, but a passion. Susan was also involved with multiple equine assisted therapy programs and a volunteer with Barefoot Republic Camp. Susan found and brought so much joy to those around her through her love for horses and her love for helping those in need. She was a believer in hard work and never, never, never giving up; she made sure to pass that sentiment to every child involved with her program as well as all of her beloved friends and family.
