Suzy was a rare gem and a true friend to so many people. We were childhood friends growing up on Meridian Street in Fort Wayne and stayed in touch through the years. I am grateful for all the good that she did and the help that she gave to soooo many people. She was a wonderful person!

Suzy,
We weren't blood sisters but Sisters in Christ. Though you taught me what it meant to myself.
You always had a compassion for others with an open heart is what set you apart. I saw that every time we were together.
Your sparkling eyes radiated with shine and your smile was so sincere as you helped others in their time of need whatever it have been. Your heart was BIGGER than the ocean though I'd never seen it only through pictures.
I know Mother Theresa is very proud of you. I AM.
Your Sister in Christ,
Cheryl

Wisdom 7: 24-26
Wisdom is busier than all active things, and reaches everywhere by reason of her purity. For she is a breath of the power of God, and a certain pure revelation of the glory of the almighty God; and therefore nothing defiled comes into her. For she is the reflection of eternal light, and the unspotted mirror of God's majesty, and the image of his goodness.

Our hearts are breaking to hear of Suzie's passing. We met Suzie through Matthew25 where we witnessed first hand her kindness and concern for people in need. She truly exemplified living the Christian life everyday and was one of God's most faithful servants. She was an Angel here on earth and will be greatly missed. God bless her soul and her beautiful family.

I met Suzy in 1973 at Dr R. Leininger's dental office where I joined the dental team .. we became fast friends ... and then we continued to work together at Dr Ron Duch's office. I feel fortunate to have watched her beautiful family grow up . She was so proud of her children and her grandchildren , of Bill and Bills mom , Alice . Suzy was a true Angel on Earth with a heart of gold for everyone and especially the unfortunate. She taught us all about Gods love ❤ And how we all can be kind and gentle,caring and giving of our time to help others❤ Let's make her proud ! May she Rest In Peace , now and forever more
My thoughts and prayers go out to Bill, Chris,Erin,Kelly,Alice , and her siblings at this difficult time. My Love, Jean Fishbaugh

I've known Suzy since I was a child from going to Dr Duch's office. We always chose her to be our hygienist for every visit. Her and I shared a very personal conversation when I got a cancer diagnosis over 10 years ago. She was such a caring person. She'll always hold a special place in my heart. Heaven got a true angel.

I have been honored to know Suzi for many years-through Matthew 25 and our Dental Hygiene association. Our community has lost a compassionate spokesperson and caregiver for the marginalized in our society. She has touched many lives, and hopefully her memory will be a beacon of light for future generations. My prayers are for your family. May you find joy celebrating her life and legacy. Sending much love-

Suzy and I worked together as dental hygienists at Dr. Bob Leininger's office. She was always so ultra caring, insightful, gave so much love to anyone in need and made our work fun. There is a special place in Heaven for this dear Angel. May she rest in peace and sunshine which she so loved. She and I used to lay in the sun on our lunch hour. Loving prayers to Bill and family.

Such a big hole left in our hearts when Suzy left us. I will miss you so my dear sister in Christ. I have no doubt in my mind that our good Lord wrapped His loving arms around His precious child and said the words we so long to hear.."Well done good and faithful servant ...welcome home"

Miss Virginia always called her Sue, and so did I. What she did through her work with Miss Virginia and Matthew 25 cannot be measured. She is one of the treasures God put on the Earth, and she will be greatly missed. (from the "other" Paul Reszel.)

Many of us talk the talk , but few of us walk the walk. Suzy walked the walk her entire life. Her deeds are a celebration of what life is really about- helping others in need.

Suzy was the most energetic,giving person who truly had the heart for the "least of these". I've heard many times that she was the Mother Teresa of Fort Wayne. I pray for peace for Suzy and her precious family.

Suzy has been a friend of our family since I can remember. She had such a loving and kind heart, always giving to others . I am in total shock of her passing as I just spoke to her a couple months ago. She loved her family and grandchildren and always spoke about them. If there is anyone that has a seat in Heaven it is Suzy. She loved the Lord and spent her life giving and serving others. You will be truly missed Suzy but I KNOW you are home with the Savior. Love to your family as we wait to be together again.

May we always see her in her beloved element of serving, loving, and honoring our God. She will always be our sister, and we know she will continue to be one of His dearly loved angels for eternity with Him. His love never fails. His love is perfect. May peace that surpasses all understanding fill the hearts of family and dear friends that ache over time when we miss her. Yet when we do, may we see Him, our Savior, embracing her, loving His child, knowing her heart and restoring her to perfection as His blessed, forevermore with Him.

To the Beard family, My sincere sympathy. I think I've known Sue since high school days and always remember her being one who cared, in a very special way, for the most vulnerable, just as the obituary tells her story. She will be greatly missed but surely has a very special place in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you in the days ahead.
