She spent her life working to make other’s lives better. She was inspiring, uplifting and never failed to reach out her heart to those in need. Suzanne was the matriarch of our family, a job which probably began as the only sister in a family of 4 boys. She was our guide and our listener. She never failed to have advice, love and understanding for all of her family and friends. Memorial Contributions may be made in her memory to The Vera Mae Foster Home.
