Suzanne Derzon,
(nee Hirsch) June 2, 2025 age 88, of Glendale. Beloved wife of the late Sheldon Derzon. Dear mother of Marci (Howard) Margolis, Dr. Mark (Mary) Derzon, Lori ( the late Dr. Barry) Browne, and Mimi (Bill) Stephen.

Treasured great-grandmother of Caleb and Jonah Yakar. Adoring sister of Maxine Zinder. Further survived by many loving nieces, nephews, other relatives, and great friends.
Suzanne was committed to a legacy of love to her family. She was a devoted wife to Sheldon for 58 years. Their life together was filled with mutual respect and affection. She actively participated in the counseling of woman as they sought to preserve their reproductive rights. After her years spent raising their 4 children, she focused on a career in art and design that brought forth a varied placement of stained glass windows and sculpture which now adorn religious institutions worldwide. Her preeminent contribution is the design and works in the Congregation Shalom Synagogue in Milwaukee. She left every location she worked in a more beautiful and spiritually uplifting place.
