SA Woman: Carrying Will and Charlie: The Heart of Susan Naylor

By Dawn Robinette  |  Photography by Suzanne Pack

“Susan Naylor sees love in small signs – a penny on a driveway, an orb of light that appears in a photo, an infinity symbol – and takes them as a nudge to keep going. ‘I feel them around me all the time,’ she says of her boys. ‘This is the way they live on.’ She wants the full story to be told, with nothing airbrushed. ‘Because I’ve got to make sure they live on.'”

Susan Naylor created the Will Smith Foundation to honor her sons, Will and Charlie, turning profound loss into a mission that brings generosity, meaning, and connection to local children and families. The Cibolo is grateful to be among the organizations supported by Susan’s philanthropy, and her recent visit for this feature was a beautiful and memorable time for our team.
