Suzy Barlatier Bonny

Sunday, August 27th, 2023, our world changed, it became smaller, quieter, and lonelier. Our beloved Suzy Barlatier Bonny [Mommy] received her wings and went to walk with the angels; surrounded by her children and their husbands, her grandchildren, her sister and countless nieces, and nephews. She was 82 years old and battled Alzheimer’s and Dementia; we will not say that she lost her battle because Mommy never stopped fighting. Through Mommy, we learned what resilience and perseverance truly looks like. The word quit was not in Suzy’s vocabulary. As a woman of faith, a child of God, she never questioned her circumstances, would not accept pity or sadness. We can actually imagine her spreading laughter and joy with her mom, dad, siblings and countless close cousins waiting to welcome her in heaven.

Suzy was the Matriarch of our family, our Loving but Uncompromising Mother.

Suzy was born in St. Louis-Du-Nord, Haiti, April 14, 1941, into a very large family. As one of the oldest she always cared for and loved her younger siblings. She also became a teacher at a very young age, that explains why she always wanted to get married and have a lot of children… well she accomplished that. Anyone who knew her, knew Suzy’s girls meant everything to her. As faith would have it, she also became the mother figure to all her nieces and nephews. She would proudly boast about all her children. She had a compassionate yet stern spirit. She cared for others so strongly, whether you were family or friend who became family her door was always open. There was always room for someone to rest and have a warm meal; a cot, sofa and when her home was all filled, there was always the floor. If she could help, she would or find someone who could. This plays a large part in why she chose to become an administrator for a head start program. While there, she helped countless parents navigate the program. She worked at Torah Head Start for over 30 years and loved it.

Suzy was such a blessing and was loved by so many. She will be sorely missed.
