1. Use the comma.
Welcome Susan
Welcome can function as a verb, meaning "to make someone feel welcome or comfortable." Without the comma, Welcome Susan

2. The period is optional.
As for the period, you can choose to leave it in or omit it. Because this welcome message is not part of a longer paragraph, there's no need to use a full stop. Your greeting works much like a newspaper headline, ad slogan, or book title: full punctuation is not required, and grammar rules need not apply. That said, if you wanted to add some level of emphasis to the message, you could use an exclamation point:
Welcome, Susan!
