Suzanne Silberman

Suzanne (Suzie) Silberman, 71, Macy, passed away at 10:18 a.m. Tuesday, April 23, 2024, at Methodist Hospital, Indianapolis, following a lengthy illness and diagnosis.

She was born April 14, 1953 in Chicago, the daughter of Donald L. and Agnes Edna (Sorenson) Silberman.

Always having worked, Suzie also had a love, though, for connecting with people. She started her own businesses, Suzie's Accounting and Suzie's Country Crafts, which she operated out of her home for many years.

Suzanne was a God-fearing woman that knew exactly who her maker was and that she would join him in Heaven when her time on Earth was complete. Much of her life she attended St. John Lutheran Church in Rochester and Macy Christian Church in Macy.

Suzie was an avid Elvis Presley fan as long as any can remember. She loved to crochet and make various crafts as gifts for others. She loved going to concerts, reading, playing games, traveling, going to church, and had been active in a bowling league for many years but most importantly, gathering with family and friends was most dear to her heart.

Survivors include her children, Bruce Wiard Jr., Rochester, Michelle Brubaker (Paul) Shanklin, Rochester, Farrah (Jack) Grubbs, Normal, Ill., Joshua (Melissa) Wiard, Chesney, S.C., Justin Wiard, Macy; grandchildren Travis (Michelle) Harrell, Tanner Music, Jeffrey Harrell, Stephanie Grubbs, Kyleigh Grubbs, Angel Wiard, Austin Wiard, Aiden Wiard, Brianna Whiteman; siblings, Madonna (Ronald) Johnson, Brownsville, Texas, Cheryle Neubeck, Rochester, Dani (David) Lockwood, Kenosha, Wisc.; and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, sisters Sandra D. Briney, Claudia Medsker, and brothers Hugh W. Silberman and Roger Silberman.

Graveside service will be conducted at 11 a.m. Friday, May 3, 2024, at Odd Fellows Cemetery, Rochester.

Arrangements are by Zimmerman Bros. Funeral Home, Rochester, Indiana.
