Suzanne was foremost a wonderful companion and mentor in this journey through life, both for her husband, Joseph M. O'Callaghan, and their children. Suzanne and Joseph have been married 52 years and have six children, three of them living, Col. Joe Jr. (Sheila May), Meghan, and Colin (Margaret), and have three who have gone before them, Edward, Brighid, and Love. Suzanne is also survived by three grandchildren, Jacob and Nicholas (Joe Jr.) and Maeve (Colin).
Suzanne was dedicated to love and service to family and to a number of organizations. Among those organizations, Suzanne served as the president of the Joseph Sears School Parents Volunteers Association, the Loyola Academy Ramble fundraiser, and the Evanston Hospital Women's Auxiliary Board, as well as chaired the original and subsequent fundraiser dinners for the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine. In addition, Suzanne served as a board member of several other charitable organizations.
