Dear Family, Suzanne was a beautiful beacon of contagious energy and love! I am so grateful for having had the opportunity of meeting her through NOCC. She had an infectious smile...her face lit up a room and her personality just brought so much fun to every project or meeting. I worked with her several times during our fabric sale events and we had so much fun working together on this event. She has been in my prayers...with each new round of chemo...then when I learned she was in hospice.... Please know that her life meant so much and she will be forever remembered.

I will always remember Suzanne's smile and beautiful spirit. We have such great memories from all our Sue Geller days, travelling with the girls and watching them dance.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Suzanne's family at this difficult time.

I am very fortunate to have so many wonderful memories of Suzanne. She and Melissa spent so many hours at the dance studio and provided us all with endless joy and laughter.
Classes, production rehearsals, competition, trip to Italy and on and on. Suzanne was always available to help sew, run to the store for socks, etc... I counted on her so much and she always came thru with her beautiful smile. My personal most favorite memory shows how caring and generous Suzanne was. She knew how important my dogs are to me and for Christmas she made my Girls costumes to match our Company Sing Sing Sing costumes. They are here in Texas with me on a special shelf and every time I see them, I think of Suzanne and smile. I am so sorry for the loss of such a special loving person. But, everytime I think of Suzanne - I will always smile.
With much love,
Sue Geller

Dear Mike,
Suzanne was a lovely lady with a truly beautiful spirit that became more and more apparent through her illness. As her body became more "transparent" the inner light of her spirit burned even more brightly.
Our condolences and prayers,
Dale and Lois Van Hooser

Suzanne was a wonderful, supportive mother when her children went to Coleman Elementary School. She actively participated wherever she could help. It was a pleasure to have known her and worked with her.

To the Hooser and Koch Families - Suzanne was a pleasure to know and her charm always brought calmness to my heart and soul the times I spoke with her. I know you grieve and mourn her physical passing greatly yet surely must find comfort knowing that a wonderful eternal heavenly life awaits her with her Creator. RIP Suzanne and look down from the Heavens at us to strengthen us and give us hope for the day when we may one day be reunited with you.
