She was also preceded in death by her parents, Max Sherman and Marjorie Sherman Hammett; her stepfather, Jim Hammett; her brother, Richard Sherman, sister in-law, Darla Sherman; and her sister, Karen Sherman Nelson.

Suzanne leaves behind a family who will forever cherish her memory: her sons, Rance Norris (Jennifer), Barry Norris, and Steve Norris. She was a proud and loving grandmother to seven grandchildren and a treasured great grandmother to four great grandchildren, each of whom brought her immense joy. She is also survived by her sister in law, Betty Meyer (Dr. Richard Meyer), and her brother in law, Dr. Michael Nelson, along with extended family and friends who were touched by her kindness and grace.

In accordance with her wishes, no formal services will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that memorial contributions be made to the COPD Foundation in Suzanne’s memory at https://www.copdfoundation.org/
