Suzanne married George H Johnson and they raised 3 children. She worked for Douglas County Schools as a cook for 20 years before retiring in 1987. She has resided in Castle Rock with her family since she first came to the US.
Suzanne enjoyed knitting, crocheting and working with stained glass. She had a great sense of humor and an outgoing personality. She had a green thumb and loved to garden. Her kitchen often looked like a nursery and she was very skilled at starting new plants from previous plants. Above all she loved to spend time with her family, spoiling her grandchildren was an especially fond past time.
