She was also a longtime volunteer and pre-marker for the Children Aids Society in Norwalk. Throughout her life Suzy enjoyed skiing, golfing, paddle tennis, coaching, bridge, backgammon, being a brownie leader and swim team mom. She was a member of Sawgrass Country Club and Wee Burn Country Club where she was the backgammon champion.
Suzy’s happiest times were being surrounded by her children, grandchildren and good friends and when she was lucky enough to win the dollar prize money at golf or bridge, it was a good day!
