After settling in the harsh environment of St. George (Utah's Dixie), Susanna became critically ill. Her health declined to the point where her family and friends feared she would not recover. Relying on her faith, she requested an administration by the elders of the Church. During the administration and the laying on of hands, Susanna reported a distinct and powerful sensation of warmth flowing through her entire body. She was immediately healed of her ailment and restored to her duties, an event she and her descendants recorded as a testimony of the power of the Priesthood.
