Her favorite pastimes included sitting on the porch with Gene enjoying a cup of coffee while watching her hummingbirds, watching nostalgic television, and sharing fond stories of her life with loved ones.

Suzanne is survived by her children, Billy Brown of Carmi, IL, and Sarah Brown of Newburgh, IN, five grandchildren, Alyssa, Andrew, Wyatt, Nathan, and Henry; a sister, Maudell Bowen of Newburgh, IN; a nephew, Todd Bowen of Greece, and her faithful dog, Butters.
