Suzanne was always known for her caring nature. She was a strong yet gentle person who dedicated her life preparing others to reach their dreams. Her career was diverse starting as a Secretary, State Auditor then she went back to school to become a teacher allowing more time to be with her children.

She returned to school again to become a Special Education Teacher Consultant for her cherished North Arlington School System.

 

She was a creative woman with many talents, including quilting, painting, knitting and sewing. She fulfilled her dream of stitching behind the scenes at New York City’s fashion week. She also loved traveling, reading books, shopping, going for long walks, theater, music, yoga, ice cream, pets, and most of all…spending time with her family. She was a kind-hearted woman who will be sincerely missed by those who were touched by her presence.
