Suzanne Braff Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by J.S. Burkholder Funeral Home Inc. on Aug. 4, 2025.
Suzanne Braff was the only child of Leonard and Lorraine Braff. She was born in Superior, Wisconsin but grew up in Ironwood, Michigan. After high school she studied at Michigan State University and afterwards worked in the insurance industry for a number of years. She was a talented photojournalist and worked freelance for many years, even interviewing Donald Trump when he was a young, upcoming businessman. (Her last freelance pieces appeared in the A.D. Times in 2016 and 2017.) Her passion in life, besides her Christian faith, was horses. A skilled and experienced equestrienne, she left the insurance business to become a breeding manager of a horse farm in Ocala, Florida for almost a decade, the happiest time of her life. Sue leaves behind no family but will be lovingly remembered by her dear friends, Betsy Shaw, Sina Dubovoy and Kathleen Rich.
