Suzanne Martine Rohrer, 63, of Cypress, TX, passed peacefully into eternal life on December 23rd, 2014. She was born in Austin, TX on August 15, 1951, to Marie and Floyd Martine. Suzanne was married to John Douglas Rohrer on January 16, 1971 and they shared nearly 44 loving, "Blissful" years of marriage. She graduated from Crockett High School in 1969, and The University of Texas in 1975, and then taught for many years , starting in the Austin ISD, then at St. Edwards Catholic School in Spring and John Cooper School in The Woodlands. Suzanne was a wonderful teacher, dedicated and loving spouse and mother. She was an active supporter and volunteer for many worthy causes, including The Endometriosis Association, Cypress Assistance Ministries, Any Soldier (Care Packages for Troops), and Adult GED. Most importantly, Suzanne thoroughly enriched the lives of everyone she encountered. Her passions in life included being with her family, enriching children's lives with science, caring for the environment, listening to music, and helping others in need. Her generosity, loving heart, willingness to listen, and sense of humor were legendary.
Suzanne is preceded in death by her father Floyd Martine, sister Diane Jacoby, and Father-in-Law George Rohrer. Suzanne is survived by her mother Marie Martine, husband John Douglas Rohrer, son Jeffrey John Rohrer (wife Linnea), daughter Jennie Suzanne Rohrer, brothers Tom Martine, Don Martine, Jim Martine, sisters Mary Jane Gongre, Linda Kay Robards, and Betty Lou Furlong. She also leaves behind one beautiful grandchild, Chloe Madeline Rohrer and her beloved mother-in-law, Madeline Yvonne Rohrer, as well as a wonderfully close extended family of uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, and in-laws.

Suzanne and I had been very good friends since we first met in 4th grade (54 years ago) at St. Ignatius Catholic School.(Austin) She was the kindest, most loving, and most caring person I have known. Suzanne always thought of others first. I am a much better person having known her and having been inspired by her for many years. I will treasure the memories of my dear friend forever. My love to her entire family.

Wonderful Suzanne was a member and supporter of the Endometriosis Association starting in 1992; founded the Houston Chapter of the Endometriosis Association and was its first President; served as the Teen Director for the Houston Chapter and had a long interest in helping the young girls suffering with endometriosis; was a Lifetime Member of the Endometriosis Association; wrote a
wonderful essay about endometriosis which was included in the Association's third book; but most importantly of all for me, personally, raised my spirits time and again. What a lovely soul and how very sad to think I will never talk with her again. Bless you, Suzanne!

Had known Suzanne since St. Ignatius Parochial School in Austin through Crockett High School. Of course lost touch after marriage and kids but remember her well. So very sorry to read about this. Condolences to her family.

Suzanne was an amazing science teacher, generous colleague and loyal friend. I loved and admired her for her great spirit that enlivened everyone she met.

Suzanne is most altruistic woman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
There are so many memories of her that I will cherish... starting as a student in her science class (she was always prepping a skeleton on an ant mound), as an environmentalist (she was recycling & composting before it was cool), as an animal lover (bringing home a hedgehog or one-winged pigeon), she was always quick with a smile or hug (she gave the best hugs!).
She will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you,

John, Jeff, and Jenny,
Suzanne was indeed one of the kindest, funniest, most generous person God ever created. I am so sorry for the sorrow you are all going through right now, but I smile thinking of Suzanne touching the face of God and seeing Uncle Floyd, Diane, and my mom and dad an keeping them all entertained with her keen wit! She will be missed by all of us. Please know you are all in our hearts and prayers. Love, Becca and David Marsh

Suzanne had the most generous heart I have ever known. She was kind, funny and a wonderful friend. You never had to ask Suzanne for help because she always seemed to anticipate your needs and was there even before we could ask.
Suzanne had a passion for helping children that was part of her very being. Her love of Children, teaching and science started many children on that path from curiosity to wisdom. We will not see her like again and she will be missed by all who knew and loved her!

The first person to ever love me with unconditional love was Suzanne. She was one of a trillion. She showed Christs love to everyone she met. Her greatest treasures were John, Jeff and Jenny. My love to you all Sharon Dahlstrom davis
