Suzanne Cecile Martin

Man... just saw this news. Suzanne and Ron lived next door to me in College Park, Ga in the late 70's. I remember she was good friends with my mom and they stayed in touch for years once she moved. She sent me a wonderful letter when my mom passed and I hate hearing this news now. May she rest in peace.

I traveled with Suzanne for one tour with Covenant Players. She was a wonderful mentor and friend. We only connected once in later years but I thought of her often.

Ed Jahn and I were thinking of Suzanne today. Dearly missed.

One of those wonderful times we shared a meal at Nordstrom's.

I met Suzanne shortly after her mother died. She and Alex were singing at Parkside C&MA Church in Manassas Park, Virginia. I'm not sure when our acquaintance became friendship, but that friendship quickly turned us into Christian sisters. We both loved the Lord. After she and Doug moved to Purcellville, we continued to meet twice a year at different restaurants. Jesus was always at the center of our talks, in our prayers for each other, and for our loved ones. Those times together always brought a sense of joy and encouragement to both of us. We hadn't gotten together since the COVID pandemic started, but kept in touch via text messages and small utiful gifts and cards. We didn't share a mother, but we did share the greatest Father there ever was, and to whom I am sure she is singing to with her glorious voice and precious countenance. May the Holy Spirit's presence bring peace and comfort to Doug, Alex, and the rest of the family at this time.
Your sister in Christ Jesus, Adele.

I loved her for many reasons but a very important one is how she loved my family. Just this past Christmas she sent care packages to 3 of my grandsons who are in the military. She loved openly and unconditionally.

I knew Suzanne when we were both in Covenant Players. She's the one who interviewed me over the phone for the job. We never knew each other all that well, but I knew her as a triple threat because of her gifts of acting, singing, and dancing. Beyond that, I knew her as somebody with a heart for Jesus, always ready with a smile. Many, many years later, I got to know her a little better through Facebook, and that indomitable spirit continued to shine through.

I shall always remember Suzanne because she was a gracious friend and sister-in-The Lord to my dear wife, Joanne. Both women Loved The Lord Jesus Christ and longed to serve Him and be with Him for eternity.
Both are now with Christ who they both Loved and Served.
I know, that as Suzanne entered the gates of Heaven she was rejoicing, as she continues to do.
Suzanne made time to remember my wife to me, and always sent a note, a card or text to encourage me in the Lord.
Thank you Suzanne for your life and your ministry to me, my family and untold others -- Rest in Christ, our Savior and Lord.

Dawn and I will remember Suzanne as a faithful and consistent friend, one who always supported us in ministry and who even recently (over 20 years since we've last seen her) has reached out on occasion to share a memory or send a note of encouragement. We are so glad to have known both Doug and Suzanne, and we know we will meet again -- we are looking forward to singing together once again with our beloved sister in Christ!

Sending many heartfelt thoughts and prayers to all. With deepest sympathy.

I first met Suzanne at VCU when I as freshman moved into the dorm where she was the resident advisor. A bubbly short girl with a smile as wide and bright as the sun, bounced in to my room. We both discovered we were in theater and became lifelong friends even though we later lived on opposite sides of the country. I will miss her sweet and funny texts, her always reaching out to see what was going on in my life. Suzanne´s faith in the Lord was boundless, I will miss her vivacious spirit.

Suzzane was so kind and a great person to talk to when I first moved to the area a few years ago. I ran into her last summer at a church retreat and it was so great to see her smiling face. I know that she has her huge smile on now with Jesus. My condolences to her dear family who will miss her greatly.
Wishing you comfort at this time.

Suzanne was such a sweet woman. She would always email and check on me as I was going through breast cancer and just periodically to ask how she could pray for me. She showed me how to do Gideon Bible distribution, taking me all over Purcellville to every medical office, including veterinarians. She was passionate about getting the Good News of the Bible out to anyone and everyone. She was an inspiration.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this difficult time. We will always remember Suzanne for the love, kindness and that beautiful voice!
