Suzie is survived by her children, Jeffrey Chance (Lynn) and April Wilder (Jay). Her 4 Grandchildren, Charlie and Michael Brock and Alex and Emili Chance and her Brother Robert Smith (Barb).
She is proceeded in death by her parents Berthel and Dosalina Smith and Step Father Robert Gray, her son Joseph Chance, her grandson Steven Charles Brock and her beloved dog, Cherry.
Though Suzie’s health was failing, few people knew the extent to which she struggled. Her joy for life and indomitable spirit kept her pushing through the pain.
Her cheerful attitude and bright smile will be missed by all who knew her. She loved shopping, drinking wine, listening to music, and playing games.
I truly never learned what the words “I miss you” were until I reached for my mom’s hand and it wasn’t there.
In lieu of flowers please make a donation to GiGi’s Playhouse Down Syndrome Achievement Center, Tampa FL in her honor.
YOUR HUG MEANT THE WORLD
Nobody else held me so tight
No one’s eyes shined so bright with love
As my mom, who is now high above.
