Suzanne and Gerald were married August 21, 1981, and were blessed with 38 years of marriage. In retirement, they traveled the world, played golf all over the United States, and enjoyed their life together.

Suzanne was a avid duplicate bridge player in the Akron area for many years and continued to enjoy a tennis match with friends well into her 50's. She loved her shade garden at home and spent hours tending her plants and flowers.

The family would like to thank the staff of Renaissance of Richfield and all the caregivers from Great Lakes Hospice for all of the love and kindness. They were truly a Godsend.
