Obituary published on Legacy.com by Divine Mercy Funeral Home - Fort Wayne on Apr. 17, 2025.
Suzanne Kocks, 68 passed away April 16, 2025 at her residence in New Haven, IN. She is survived by her devoted husband, Joe Kocks; her beloved sons; Kyle, Robert, and Alan; her sister, Roxanne; her brother, Jim, her sister-in-law, Deb Guillow; her nephew, Ben; and her niece, Stacey. She was preceded in death by her parents, William R. Guillow and Clara M. Guillow.
She began her working life as a friendly and dependable cashier at Hall's Restaurant before becoming a full-time homemaker, raising her three boys with unwavering love and support. Suzanne was known for her warmth, her love of gardening, and the joy she found in crafting-especially painting wooden cats with her sister Roxanne. She also enjoyed thrift shopping and treasured time spent with her family.
Her love was constant, and her spirit was bright. Suzanne was a loving wife and mother who always saw the best in her sons and gave her family everything she had.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Parkview Hospice.
