Suzanne Mullen

54, of Fortuna, California, became another angel of the Lord on September 23, 2010. Sue was taken from us too suddenly, but her spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those she touched. She was born in Ukiah, CA on April 22, 1956 and was the only daughter of Faith Platt. Raised in love by her mother and grandmother "Meme", she went to Santa Cruz High School and continued onto San Jose State. All of her dreams became a reality the moment she became a mother to her two daughters, Sarah and Hannah. Sue was first and foremost a Mom. She was "Mama Sue" not just to her own children, but also to anyone who needed her. She believed being a Mom was her reason for being. She always said, "The moment I held Sarah in my arms, I knew why God made me." Her daughters were her whole world and she will live on through them. Her second passion was performing. She was frequently seen on the stages of Humboldt county, always adding a special spark (and a little bit of glitter) to each production she did. She loved to sing and finally received her degree in vocal performance from Humboldt State. Music remained an important part of her daily life. She performed with Piano Voce, Ferndale Community Choir, The Six Rivers Choral Artists, and many others as well as being the choir director of the Calvary Lutheran Church. Sue was a shining star that burned so brightly that one couldn't help but be moved by her enchanting smile and sparkling eyes. Susie is survived by her mother, Faith Platt, her daughters Sarah Mullen and Hannah Mullen-Jones, her son-in-law Matthew Jones and her grandson Michael Jones. A memorial service will be held at Calvary Lutheran Church, 716 South Ave, Eureka on September 28, 2010 at 2:00 pm. Arrangements under the care of Goble's Fortuna Mortuary, Fortuna, Ca.
