Suzanne was a very beautiful and unique woman. She loved her cats, art, music and Sonny. She held two masters degrees in art and graphic design from the University of Tulsa. She made a living as a commercial graphic artist. Suzanne was an accomplished artist creating some beautiful paintings in her portfolio. She was well traveled living in New York City during her painting phase while visiting the art galleries. She was well acquainted with a circle of many world class artists in her lifetime.

She knew the intricacies of music very well. She made an excellent partner in life for Sonny. Using her talents in everyday life she was an excellent photographer capturing and editing many photos of her musician friends. In her spare time she enjoyed beading bracelets, necklaces and earrings and was a talented beader.

She made a big impression on those who knew and loved her. She brought us joy, laughter, and excitement. We have been blessed having known her, having spent quality time with her and having her touch our lives.
