Suanne M Docken

She worked at the Ohio Arts Council for over 26 years and to the end spoke with love and gratitude of the people she worked for. On top of her career she was a Member Laureate Alpha Rho Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi and was a Faithful and dedicated member of Reformation Lutheran Church for over 50 years.

Susie loved gardening, birdwatching and most of all her family. She loved nothing more than her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and those she was surrogate grandma to. They will all remember her for her feisty and fun attitude.

Suanne is survived by her Brother; Bob (Andrea) Vogel, children; Children Kurt Docken and Kathy Docken Braidic, Grandchildren; Christopher (Kiki) Docken, Adam (Rosa) Docken and Ashley (Brian) Galli, Great Grandchildren; Jayli, Alyssa, Layla, Mason, Aaliyah, Owen and Evalynn.

She is preceded in death by her loving Husband Herbert Docken, Great Grand-daughter, Gracelynn Hope Docken, Mother, Margaret (nee Hanway) Vogel and Father, Elmore Vogel.

The family finds comfort knowing that Susie is now reunited and dancing with Herbie in heaven
