Suzanne Lewis Obituary
Suzanne was the daughter of Thelma (Tennyson) Drake and Dr. Brock Schreck. She lived in Eldorado, Kan. in her early childhood before moving to Wichita where she completed her schooling, including studying dance and attending Wichita University. Suzy was a long time member of the Junior League, and the P.E.O., chapter FQ in Kansas City, Mo.
Living in both New England and in the Midwest in her adult years, most recently Suzy returned to the east to be close to her children. She was known for her friendly nature, great skill in playing the game of Bridge, bright mind, and her kindness and grace. She will be dearly missed by her many friends and family around the country.
Suzy is survived by her sister, Jane (Schreck) Persons, Eldorado Kan.; an aunt, Jean Tennyson, Kansas City, Mo.; three children, Cathy Lucas, Candia, Tess Crick and Scott Lewis, both of Concord; and three grandchildren who were the light of her life, Jennifer Wilby, Seattle, Erin Greenler, Boston and Parker Lewis, Concord.
A memorial service will be held Friday, May 29, at 9:45 a.m. at the Common Man in Concord.

I've many fond memories of my times with Suzy. We played a lot of Bridge together and the day we discovered that she and my husband, Thad, shared step sisters stands out as one of the great coincidences of my life. Thanks to Gerry Vaughn for mentioning Georgann Drake. We called each other relatives (step sisters-in-law by second marriages). It's too complicated to figure it out, so don't even try.
Love to Tess,Cathy & Scott,
Jane

Susie was a kind and much admired member of Chapter F Q in Kansas City. We missed her very much when she moved to be closer to her family. She will be remembered with fondness by all of the members of Chapter F Q .

I only knew Suzy for a brief time but she was, indeed, a very gracious lady and wonderful bridge player. She is missed.
