Aunt Suzi was one of the strongest women I have ever known! There are no words that can ever express the loss we all feel. Just know that we will always have her in our thoughts and prayers.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

"Ms. Wag", as we so affectionately called her was, by far, one of the most influential people in my life. I will always remember her words of encouragement and endless positivity when it came to her students and what she believed we could achieve. I always enjoyed conversations with her about her genealogy research, and her desire to travel. The world and teaching profession has lost one of the great ones, I am truly saddened by this news. Sending my deepest condolences to her family and friends at this difficult time.
