Suzanne loved life and lived it to the fullest. Fun to be around and always active. She loved her "glass of wine" friend Gloria (Dick), "hey girl" Albert John and Mary. She shot sporting clays, fished competitively, para-sailed, swam with dolphins and manatees and learned how to sail a 40-foot boat on Lake Superior. She was game for anything. Suz loved to travel. Oatman, Arizona, and Zion National Park were her favorite places in the states. She liked Jamaica, and Cozumel and snorkeled in Roatan, Honduras, her favorite place in the Caribbean.
She was preceded in death by her father, Lonnie and older brother, David who was her confidant and her hero. She is survived by her mother Bobbie, her husband Kirk, daughter Mendi who she idolized, son-in-law Kirk Eskew and grandsons she adored Kyle, Ryan and Callen. Sister Jay Johnsen, younger brother Mark who she had a strong loving bond with. He called her his "second mom." Sister Jamie Rains, Aunt Venetia Jorgensen who was more like a sister. Aunt Tommy Hawk and sister-in-law Sherry Strong, several nieces and nephews. Suzanne had a special tie to her niece Jaid since Jaid was a child. Suz called Jaid's sons "her boys" Cameron was her sports boy and Jaxson was her ice cream buddy.
Suzanne was much loved by many and leaves a void that can never be filled. Her ashes will be spread on her favorite place on the shore of Lake Superior.
