Suzanne Jennings Obituary

JENNINGS
Suzanne Allard Jennings, age 58, passed away prematurely, but peacefully in her sleep early Thursday morning, October 22, 2009. Suzanne will always be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend to many. She will also be remembered for her sense of humor and devotion to her family as well as her passionate commitment to education. She was a dedicated English teacher for roughly 20 years, although she did take several years off to be a stay at home mom. Throughout her career, she impacted many students and felt a great sense of satisfaction from her years in the classroom. Suzanne was preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Jeanette Allard; her father-in-law, William Jennings Sr.; her mother-in-law, Doris B. Jennings and her grandparents from both sides. Suzanne is survived by her beloved and devoted husband and best friend of 38 years, William Jennings Jr.; her son, David Jennings; daughter Allison J Matthews; granddaughter Hailey Washington from Allison's first marriage to Christian Washington; as well as her son-in-law Luke Matthews and step-grandson Cameron Matthews; her sister-in-law Sandy Moberly and her family; as well as numerous friends. Services for Suzanne will be held November 7, 2009 at 12:30 pm at St. Matthews Church off Wurzbach and Vance Jackson. Luncheon will take place at the church reception hall. Interment will follow at 3:30 pm at Mission Park North off I-10 and Camp Bullis. In lieu of flowers, Suzanne would have preferred that donations be made in her behalf to the San Antonio Public Library, 600 Soledad San Antonio, TX 78205.

I knew Suzanne through NELC and Hailey. We would chat during the holiday lunches or just in passing as we picked up the kids. When I heard the news my heart sank. Her warmth & genuine love was reflected in Hailey's smile and always will be. Please trust in God when something we can't understand happens. You can keep her with you by keeping her memory alive & find peace in allowing God to heal your hearts. Your entire family is my prayers. His Angels are with you,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We knew Suzanne through the Boy Scouting family of years past. Bill & David were a part of our son Richard's life for years and Suzanne was always supportive of the guys. Given all the people she has touched, we are sure she will be missed terribly but her life made other people's lives better-she blessed many.

As former next-door neighbors of over 20 years, we were shocked to hear of your sudden, unexpected loss. Bill, David, and Allison are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Suzanne and Bill were devoted to each other (and loved to barbeque quite regularly) and she was so very proud of Allison, David, and Hailey. May God's strength carry you through this difficult time and may wonderful memories sustain you. Earl and Brenda Chasteen, San Antonio, Texas

I got to know Suzanne as a grandmother first and then realized what an overall loving, caring wife and mother she was. She played such an important role in Hailey's life and was the most attentive grandmother. She was so proud of all her family, as we spoke often as friends. I can only hope to be kind of grandmother she was. God be with you all. Bonnie Linares, Director NELC

I am very sorry for your loss. I think I am a relative, my name is Barbara Wilkins Tumlinson, my mother was Mary Elizabeth Loman, her mother was Jesse Jennings, her father was Joe Jennings, his father was Richard Jennings, my family tree which may be yours is located at familytreemaker.com under the Wilkins/Loman/Coleman family tree. You might want to go to it to see if we share a great-great grandfather. Again, very sorry for your loss, she sounded like a wonderful person, and to die so young. Barbara WIlkins Tumlinson

Suzanne was my friend and confidant. I will miss her kindness, willingness to listen and genuine interest in me. We were all very lucky to know her. My heart goes out to her family who were so real and everyday to me because of my friendship with Suzanne. She was a special person.

I was so devasted to hear of Suzanne's passing last week. Although I had only known her for one year through our interaction at Hailey's preschool, she was a light of sunshine to all she encountered. My heart goes out to all of you through this tremendous loss. May God's mercy and grace be upon all of you at this time. You have been and will continue to be in my prayers. Losing my dad suddenly at the age of 28, I can relate to your tragic, unexpected loss. Know that her light, sunshine and memories will be with you all forever! Much love, janet Hernandez (Mia's Mom)
