It is with great sadness that the family of Suzanne Smith Grisham announces her passing on February 14, 2019, after a courageous battle with cancer. Suzanne was born on June 30, 1978, in Houston, Texas to Carol Langford and Hardie E. Smith, Jr. She continued to live in Houston and was raised by Carol and Jerry Langford.

After high school, Suzanne had a twenty-year career in asset management and real estate marketing. During that time, Suzanne met her husband of 16 years, Gregg Grisham. Suzanne loved life and lived it to the fullest. She enjoyed cooking, entertaining, spending time with family and friends and vacationing on cruises and to casinos. One of her happy moments was every time she came home to her puppies, Sophie and Roscoe. She had an insurmountable love for her family, friends and her two dogs.
