Matt and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss of your Suzanne.  I just found out about her passing and it broke my heart.  I loved Suzanne.  We worked together many, many years and she was an amazing and talented women.  I truly admired her unlimited talents and her love for all of us around her.  Suzanne accomplished so much in her life.  It’s a grave loss to this community.  I pray for your family’s endurance through this time.  Much love, Marsha Beall

I was  blessed and fortunate to have been an accompanist for Suzanne and Matt in stand alone concerts as well as their involvement with the Clearwater Chorus.   What a joy it was.     Suzanne was so generous with sharing her talent and I will always be in her debt.    My  heartfelt sympathy extended to Matt and his children.

Dear Matt, 

I worked with Suzanne at REH but unfortunately we did not have much chance to interract as I work in the Ticket Office.  It 
wasn't until I read all the accolades given to Suzanne that I realized what an accomplished woman she was.  This made me sad that I didn't get to know her better.  I pray that you and the children find solace in all the wonderful memories you made together.    May Suzanne Rest in Peace with the Lord.

Janet Macomber 

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them…
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good. 


Suzy is my cousin, 13 years younger than I. I remember family gatherings at my aunt Phillis and uncle Eddie's house in Hackensack NJ. This was Suzy`s mother and father. When diner was ready, a little girl with a shy voice would enter thee room where all the guests were sitting ring a dinner bell and announce that dinner is being served. That little girl was my cousin Suzy. Who would have known then what a strong woman she would become and what a lovely voice she would have. 
                                                          Cousin,  Henry  Matuszewski        

My deepest condolences to your family.  I knew Suzanne in high school.  I remember how kind and talented she was.  I’m so sorry for your loss.

Suzanne and I met by accident in college when for some reason an email I sent to my roommate ended up in her inbox.  What started as a mistake turned into a 35 year friendship.  Watching Suzanne draw and paint while we listened to music and sang together are some of my best memories of our time in college. 

We moved to separate states and she created a beautiful life in Florida with Matt and later their children. We still stayed in touch, and I enjoyed hearing about all of her performance work and in work benefitting her community.

After reading the many tributes, it is clear that she has has the same effect on everyone that knew her. I miss her, but I'm very glad to have had her in my life.

I was so sorry and shocked to hear of Suzanne's passing. A brilliant light has gone out of this world. She was a kind, beautiful woman whose talent could bring down a show - but her heart was even bigger.  My deep condolences to Mathew and family for this tremendous loss. 

I am deeply saddened @ this lose, Suzan was one of the most talented beautiful person I have meet. I will treasure my memories of singing w her in productions we did together ❤️🙏🏻

I met Suzanne when we both worked at REH. Her smile and laughter was as pure as her heart.  
Suzanne was a friend among friends and a warrior of love and life.
I will miss her dearly.


I met Suzanne over 25 years ago at a Mary Kay skin care class.  When I found out that we were both from Hackensack, NJ I couldn’t believe it. We became fast friends and MK sisters together. She always made me laugh to the point of tears and a little tinkle sometimes. That was Suzie.  I’m sure she’s up in heaven singing with her angelic voice. Rest In Peace beautiful lady.

Such a wonderful person. I always enjoyed performing with her. She was a wonderful professional with a beautiful voice .
