I had the pleasure of knowing Suzanne for over 15 years. She was a wonderful woman who exuded class and elegance and reflected the values of the remarkable times she lived through. I am saddened she has left us, however I know she is happily reunited with her beloved husband Bill.

Suzanne was an active member of the Women's Committee for the National Symphony Orchestra. She loved working on the annual Decorators' Show House, working as Boutique Chair, Admissions Chair and for many years as Treasurer. We all delighted in watching her count the day's take from the front door, piles and piles of bills. She was beyond organized and her humor was infectious. The show house is no more, yet we remember Suzanne's great contribution to that major project and we will miss seeing her at the NSO concerts. She was a wonderful lady in every sense of that word.
