I am so very sorry to hear this. I worked at Betz in Trevose PA and worked very closely with Suzanne. She was an extremely nice person. I did have the opportunity to meet her only once but we worked together every day
I’m so so sorry to learn of Suzanne’s passing. We were great friends through out school.
Peace be with the family.

Dearest family,
This loss stuns. I am heartbroken to hear of Suzanne’s passing. I just retired, and I was thinking of how excited she would be with the news! I remember Suzanne at my Mom’s Exxon retirement like it was yesterday. That was 1999. I also remember how excited she was with her retirement plans – always speaking of her kids and grands. Always. The love was real. It was palpable.
May God bless her soul and provide comfort to her grieving children, family and friends. I’ve known Suzanne for 40 years. She was dear friends with my Mother at the old Mobil Chemical PE plant. She will be remembered as vivacious, sassy, beautiful, fashionable, charming, gracious, intelligent, caring, loving, loyal and a force of energy. I will never forget her love and kindness toward my late mother Elaine Sadowski. Suzanne called her “Mom”. Suzanne clearly had the same love and light… and adopted the same loving nickname of all those around her. Everyone was drawn to her. I am so deeply sorrow to hear of her passing. She is going to re-style the angels and they will all be singing a heartfelt hallelujah when she comes blasting into the gates of heaven with her charisma and charm! I know your hearts are hurting. Trust that your Mom is in Jesus’ arms… and no doubt having Chardonnay or margarita with my beloved Mother. My prayers and love are with you – celebrating such a dear and special family friend. Loved deeply.
God bless all, and may eternal rest be granted. Amen.
With love,
Cheryl & Denise
