Suzette was much beloved by her family, whom she adored. She was persistently joyful in every situation. Her love was boundless and kind.

She enjoyed cooking and sewing, and always had a book and her knitting with her.

Suzette was passionate about teaching. She homeschooled her four children and was always eager to discuss education with anyone who shared her interest. She especially loved to teach the Bible to children and did so, exquisitely well, as often as she was able throughout her whole life.
