After retiring Suzy was able to spend 100 percent of her time with the love of her life Bill until his passing in July 2014. Suzy and Bill were inseparable and spent time with family and friends every day.

Over the past few months as her health declined, the good Lord saw Suzy getting tired and called her home. She is indeed in peace with her husband Bill.

Suzy appreciated the many professionals she recently had contact with. The staff at Golden Acres, Edith Cavell, the Regional hospital as well as Dr. Yonker coordinated her care exceptionally. Suzy’s family would also like to thank the nursing staff on 4b for their kindness and exceptional care during her most recent hospitalization.
