Maureen Suttman Obituary

Suttman, Maureen

Maureen Suttman is resting now in peace and went there peacefully attended by close friends at home in Anchorage, Alaska. Though her final years included a difficult battle against disease, Maureen lived a full, happy, music-filled life, regularly surrounded by an inspiring circle of diverse and caring friends. She was a graduate of Archbishop Alter High School, earned her Bachelor's Degree at Mt. St. Joseph Univerisity, and her Master's Degree at Antioch College. Following her studies, Maureen moved to her beloved Alaska, where she so happily lived the rest of her life, enhanced by her travels around the world. Her career as a Licensed Professional Counselor throughout Alaska was an extension of her personal goals of helping and championing the emotional well-being of her fellow humans. Maureen was preceded in death by her brothers Martin and Eric, and parents Frosty and Terese, and is survived by her brothers Joe and Tom, nieces and nephews (over whom she doted): Erika, Louis, Ben, Dakota, Eliot, and Declan, and a host of loving friends around the world. Maureen's family would like to show special gratitude to Clovis, Mari, Kippy and all those friends who helped Maureen in her last months, weeks, and days. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make donations to one of the following of Maureen's favorite organizations: Planned Parenthood; ACLU of Alaska Foundation; Out North Art House; Democracy Now; KIYU-Big River Radio; National Organization for Women; Radical Arts for Women

I just learned of Maureen's passing in the Mount News publication. I am saddened to hear of her death. I attended MSJ with her and always enjoyed her energy and sense of humor. I had the pleasure of attending one of our dances as her date. I recall we had a great time that evening, until we experienced car trouble as we left the dance. Not the best way to end a fun evening. We got back to campus safely, and were able to laugh about that shortly thereafter. I'd always wondered how she was doing. Based on her obituary, it sounds as though she led a fun and fulfilling life, and for that I am very happy. Rest in Peace Maureen!!

Maureen and siblings....I think about you and pray for you daily. I hope you have total peace and are providing lots of music wherever you are. Keep smiling!

Cousins Joe and Tom, you both have been through so much in your lives. Cousin Maureen is finally at peace and in no pain. Even though thoughts and prayers are definitely in order, they do not seem like enough comfort when you think about it. Life will go on, but I will keep Maureen in my heart and go forward with her. Your mom would want that. Maureen made a BIG difference and impact in life. We should all remember that fact.
