Suzanne was born on July 15, 1948, in Turlock, California. She spent most of her adult life in the McAlester area, where she built lasting friendships and devoted herself to her family and work.

Throughout her life, Suzanne held many positions, always beginning at the entry level and steadily advancing into management through her strong work ethic, integrity, and natural leadership. She retired from Webcoat Manufacturing, where she served as Head of Human Resources and earned the affectionate nickname "Ma."

Never one to sit still for long, Suzanne soon returned to the workforce, dedicating another ten years of service to McAlester Regional Health Center.

Suzanne had a deeply creative spirit. She could draw, paint, and decorate with effortless talent. She enjoyed going to movies with friends and spending quiet time reading. More than anything, however, her love language was gift-giving. Family and friends cherished the thoughtful and often unexpected surprises she delighted in sharing.

She is survived by her children: Shelly Brown and husband, Jimmy; Sammy Ingle; and Steven Ingle; her grandchildren: Shalesa Pink; Wendell Huggins and wife, Kala; Dylan Ingle; Seth Ingle; Samuel Ingle and Jaycie Reece; Casandra Kerr and husband, Jay; Steven Ingle, Jr. and wife, Jordyn; and Bailey Ingle; her great-grandchildren: Braxton, Journey, Braydon, Gideon, Bryson, Madison, Greyson, Hadyn, Tayler, Mykenzi, Emilla, Chasen, Stormy, Caleb, October, and Winry; along with other beloved family members and dear friends.

She was preceded in death by her grandson, Justin Ingle; granddaughter, Hailey Ingle; and her mother, Virginia (Vary) Poisette.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to her hospice nurse, Amy Jo Bowler; her aide, Chelsea Copeland; and the compassionate staff of Heartland Hospice. Their kindness, gentle care, and unwavering support brought comfort and dignity to Suzanne in her final days and provided immeasurable peace to her family.

Suzanne will be remembered for her strength, creativity, generous heart, and the unwavering love she shared with those fortunate enough to know her.
