MIDLAND CITY – Susan Shivers-Covington, a resident of Midland City, passed away on Thursday, April 17, 2025, at HCA Ft. Walton Hospital. She was 61.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at Wright Funeral Home & Crematory Chapel.

Ms. Shiver was born in Headland, Alabama, to the late Dob Shiver and Lottie M. German Shiver. She attended high school locally and was known for her fun-loving spirit, warm heart, and creative hands. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, especially fishing, where she loved spending quiet mornings by the water, casting a line and soaking in the peace of nature. She also had a competitive streak and a playful heart, often found at bingo with a big smile, lucky charms in hand, and always ready to shout “Bingo!” before anyone else.

She was a talented crafter who poured her love into every handmade blanket and piece of clothing she created—gifts that now serve as lasting treasures for her family.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Dot Shiver; her brother, John D. Shiver; and a great-grandchild, M.J. Liles.

Left to cherish her memories, are her children, Michael Dwayne Covington (Christian Payne) and Gail Liles; spouse, John Sanders; her grandchildren, Hollie Nicole Liles, Mason Andrew Liles, Allison Kay Liles, Jacqueline Joyce Covington, and Logan Dewayne Covington; her great-grandchildren, Lucas, McKenna, and Amelia; her sister, Linda Faye Cummings; her brother, Tony Shiver; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Susan will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
