Suzanne hired me, upon completing my education degree, for my first teaching job as a Fifth Grade Teacher at IC. I still remember answering the phone to hear her tell me I was hired. I had the joy of working with her for one year before she retired. I have since changed career paths and am now a Church Music Director. I never knew she was an organist until I read her obituary. She lived a full life, may God grant her eternal rest. Prayers and peace for all the family.

Suzanne was a wonderful woman, teacher and lover of the arts. I always wanted to learn piano, Suzanne offered to give me lessons, so every Tuesday morning for 3 years in the St. Thomas Church choir loft I received the gift of Suzannes teaching. Shed say, if you want to be good at this, practice! I remember her family most Christmas Eves attending mass. Gods peace to all of you and Suzanne has her eternal peace. Jaime Berry

Suzanne hired me fresh out of college as a third grade teacher at I.C. I would never have become the teacher or person without her strength and guidance. Her words of support encouragement, and wisdom continue to stay in my thoughts as I finish my last year teaching middle school. She was by far the best principal because she knew how to lead and had the children and staffs best interest in mind. I am so blessed to have worked with her and am forever grateful that she was part of my life.

Mrs Wehinger taught me some of the most important building blocks for my life. Parts of speech. Sentence dissection. Understanding individual words purpose(s) in sentence. She really made an impact and diagraming a good sentence? . Thank you. For all you did. And for that you did not know.
