Suzie and Brian have long standing relationships with the interfaith community in Oak Harbor. They attended New Covenant Fellowship for many years (Now Grace Fellowship). Suzanne also worked in the office for a time at New Covenant. They enjoyed numerous home fellowships and bible study groups throughout the area. Suzanne and Brian owned the Trolley Stop Espresso for a time, having their daughter Char working with them at the coffee stand off of Goldie Road near Ault Field. Suzie also worked at Mitzell’s, The Kneed and Feed in Coupeville, Summerhill Retirement Center as a cook and caring friend to the residents, along with other various opportunities from time to time throughout the years. Suzanne had recently been attending Skagit Valley College and discovered she was a very good student! She loved bringing people together around the table and is fondly remembered by the many gatherings filled with outstanding food, fellowship and fun, making a comfortable, casual and accepting atmosphere. The kitchen was her greatest ministry tool, sharing her baking skills and cooking often. Suzanne would don a clown suit from time to time entertaining the children and adults alike. She had a way with creativity as it exploded in delightful skits, children’s church ministry and who knows where! She’d light up the room with lively delight and cause an infection of joy. Her grandchildren were particularly a source of extreme happiness to her. Suzie impacted many lives with her care and love.

A memorial service will be held 2pm on March 26th at THE VINEYARD CHURCH where her and Brian currently attend. 1080 SE Pioneer Way, Oak Harbor, WA. 98277.
