Suzanne Diack Wright

Suzanne Diack Wright, a friend to everyone she met, passed away at her Fort Lauderdale home Saturday, June 18, with James N. Wright, her husband of 53 years, by her side. Born April 7, 1943 to the late Thomas F. and Marybelle Diack in New Rochelle, NY, Suzanne moved with her parents to Fort Lauderdale in 1949.

She attended Eastside School, Sunrise Middle and graduated from the original Fort Lauderdale High School in 1961, where she was a cheerleader and voted Friendliest by her high school peers. She went on to attend the University of Georgia, where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Suzanne's outgoing personality was a perfect fit for her highly successful career in real estate. She was a member of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Board of Realtors for 33 years. When she wasn't working, her greatest passion was spending time with her adored grandchildren, James N. Wright III and Carlie Wright of Fort Lauderdale and Madison and MacKenzie Bracken of Vero Beach. She loved dancing, boating and parlor games.

Remembered by everyone for her everpresent smile that could light up a room, Suzanne had just enjoyed celebrating her 55th high school reunion in May.

In addition to her husband James and her four grandchildren, Suzanne is survived by her son James N. (Gail) Wright, II of Fort Lauderdale, her daughter, Karin Wright Bracken of Vero Beach and dear friend, Terri Wright of Fort Lauderdale. Services are scheduled for June 30, 4 pm at First Presbyterian Church of Fort Lauderdale, 401 SE 15th Ave. Should you desire a memorial contribution can be made to the American Heart Association or the Leukemia Society.
