About Us
Susan and Charity worked side-by-side for more than 20 years as leaders in the federal workforce, managing people, projects, and complex transitions. Together, they bring nearly 60 years of federal service grounded in integrity, service before self, and excellence.​ After retirement in late 2025, they chose to apply their experience in a more personal way—helping families navigate one of life’s most significant transitions: moving from a long-time home into a new chapter.​​​
Susan Emerson
Susan discovered just how complex the process can be while helping her parents move from a large home built for entertaining to a more modest ranch in a retirement community. What seemed like “just a move” quickly became a multifaceted project—sorting decades of belongings, coordinating logistics, and preserving meaningful memories.
Charity Petrina
Charity first saw how complicated senior moves can be when her widowed mother-in-law transitioned from a large home/ office combination into a retirement apartment in Minnesota. Like many families, her in-laws were spread across the Midwest, requiring several family members to travel while relying heavily on those in the local area. Knowing there had to be a better way, she later discovered that Senior Move Managers could have helped, saving time, money, and stress for everyone involved in the process.
