Suzanne Sledge Barnes passed away Sunday, January 26, 2020 after a hard fight with cancer. She was surrounded by her family and dog. She was a daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and dear friend. Suzie was known by her grandchildren as Marnie.
Suzie was born July 4, 1951 in Bethlehem, PA; and grew up in Sheffield, Alabama. She attended Florence State University and received her degree from the University of Louisville. She was an EMT, and had a dedicated career as a skilled Nuclear Medicine Technologist. Suzie loved the beach and all things related. She enjoyed sewing, quilting, reading, making Halloween costumes, diving, collecting seashells and stones; and was equally adept at these and many other activities. She doted on pets of all kinds and loved her dogs fiercely. Suzie will be missed beyond measure.
She was preceded in death by her father, George Sublett and is survived by her mother, Mary Sublett. She is also survived by her brother George Sublett, sisters Gretta Wild and Patricia Hatcher (John); children Christie Woodruff (Shane), David R.
