Susan Wilson: Office Manager and Facilitator


I am the office manager and facilitator at Tupelo Smiles. I am blessed to have been part of the team for 35 years, working with great dentists, wonderful patients and the best team imaginable! I have lived in Mississippi all of my life with a large portion of that time being in Pontotoc County.

I have a large extended family, and we love getting together for a good meal and playing games…. so much so that we have a Family Game Night at my house once a month! I have a wonderful husband, three children, a lot of grandchildren and even some great grands!

My home is my sanctuary. When not at work, there’s a good chance you will find me at home working in my yard, reading a book, or adding things to our always- growing to-do list! My faith in God and the truth of His word keeps me grounded…knowing that His is a deep abiding love, I can rest because He is in control.
