turn. Her Happy Hours at her home, at their cottages and in Florida truly brought people within the neighborhood and area together into a unit of friends. Her second home in Ft. Meyers Beach Florida was a haven of joy and sunshine for her and Zim for six months out of every year for over 30 years. There they enjoyed establishing a second community of friends, many of whom they stayed in touch with even after they were unable to continue their annual stays there. It was a delight having family and friends come to her home(s), especially for "happy hour" and made all feel welcome and comfortable there. Her hospitality was surpassed only by her generosity and kindness. Her loving care of her Mother, Helen, ensured Helen lived out her days as the lady she always strived to be, even when Helen's health necessitated she be in a nursing home. Even then Suzanne visited or called her daily. And when Suzanne couldn't visit, she ensured Helen was being cared for by having one of her five children check on Granny Peters. Suzanne's other passion in life, after her family, was garage "saleing", taking family lists of needs and wants in hand each season. Many a kitchen was equipped and home decorated due to her eye for quality and shrewd negotiation skills. Suzanne is survived by her husband, Lowell. Her five children, Greg (Sue) of Verona; Kathy (Chuck) Zastrow, Madison; Mary Miller (Roger McNiel), Middleton; Thomas (Judy), Madison; and Michael ( Mary Abalos), Mt. Horeb. Twelve grandchildren Joe Miller; Katie (Luke) Black; Jay Sachtjen; Dan (Melissa) Zimmer; Bridgette (Gregg) White; Ryan Sachtjen; Nicholas (Leah) Zimmer; Harry, Gus & Sam Zimmer; and Lindsay & Delany Zimmer. and eight great-grandchildren Olivia, Reese & Clementine Miller; Caden Black; Josephine & Noah Zimmer; and Penni & Hendrix White; and a very special caregiver, Courtney Moore; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Jeanne and Jeanne's husband, Gerry Boos; and her brother Richard and his wife Bea Peters and their son Mark.
