Suzanne "Sue" (Klotz) Parisi

In loving memory of Sue, 87, who passed away peacefully on December 5, 2025. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, great- grandmother, aunt, cousin, and a cherished friend to many.
Sue was raised and educated in Madison, Wisconsin. She later moved to Prescott, Arizona, where she began raising her children, and then to Tucson, where she lived, worked, and built many lasting friendships over several years. She was an active member of Sweet Adelines, a women's singing organization, and loved performing and traveling to competitions.
After a short time in Wisconsin and Texas, Sue returned to Prescott, (a place she always loved), where she became deeply involved in the community. She participated in book clubs, volunteered for Meals on Wheels, Quad discussion groups and even took college courses at Yavapai College. Sue was always helping others, whether driving friends to appointments, shopping, or simply being there when someone needed support. She also cherished trips to Phoenix to visit her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Sue was preceded in death by her brother, Ross Parisi (2023), her daughter Diane Marie (1965) and her daughter Allison Leigh (2023)
She is survived by her children Gail Loftis (Mike) of Tucson, Mike Klotz (Terri) of Texas, and Steve Klotz of Texas, as well as three grandchildren, Zach, Aaron, and Leo, and four great-grandchildren, Blair, Balor, Walker, and Hadley, whom she dearly loved
Sue was respected and loved by family, coworkers, and many friends in Wisconsin, Arizona, and beyond. She will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, and enduring curiosity about the world.
