Suzanne Janak Holl

Suzanne J. Holl, 60, of Dallas, passed away tragically and suddenly on December 9, 2020, after suffering a stroke, her loving family at her side.

Suzanne was born on December 15, 1959, in Houston, TX, daughter to Rose Marie and the late Ernest Janak. She was a 1982 graduate of Southwest Texas State University, now Texas State, where she was a founding member of Zeta Tau Alpha.

Following college she met and married the great love of her life, David, and together they had three daughters that were the center of Suzanne’s world. Her career path was confirmed when she became a mother. She dedicated herself to her family and husband’s career at Mary Kay Inc. and did so with grace, dignity and most importantly, love. Her daughters knew her as the Best Mom Ever. Her teachings of love and kindness are lessons her daughters will keep close to their hearts. They will pass down this grace and humbleness to their future sons and daughters.

To know Suzanne also meant you loved her. She never met a stranger. She loved playing tennis, travelling the world, and spending time with friends and family at Cedar Creek Lake and Isle of Palms in Charleston, South Carolina. Her reputation as an adventurous traveler was cast in stone after she took her young daughters on an epic outdoor sports trip to Wyoming. In short, she succeeded in living an exciting and fulfilling life.

Suzanne is loved and missed by her husband of 33 years, David Holl; daughters Brittany Moore and husband Matthew, Sara Shirey and husband William, and Rachel Holl; her mother Rose Marie Janak; brothers Donald Janak and wife Mary Ann, and Ronald Janak and wife Joan; parents-in-law Bruce and Sally Holl; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and countless friends.

Special thanks are owed to those at Texas Health Presbyterian ICU and the staff of Southwest Transplant Alliance for their care of Suzanne and fulfilling her final gift of organ donation.
