She has been a committed citizen and advocate for the city of Wayzata serving on the Planning Commission from 1997-2000 and the City Council 2003-present. She was recently voted the Citizen of the Year for 2009. Suzy loved to entertain, read books, play bridge, take walks and spend time at her cabin in the north woods.

Suzy will be missed by many, but especially by her partner Andy Bond; daughters, Sarah (Elliott) Randolph and Bridget (Matthew) Lackie; siblings, Letty (Pat) Fitzgerald, Mary (Marnix) Guillaume, Bob (Debi) Tenner; three beautiful grandchildren, Harper and Elliott Randolph and Anderson Lackie; and eight nieces and nephews.The visitation will be at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday November 19th followed by a Memorial Service at 12 noon at The Church of St. Bartholomew, 630 East Wayzata Blvd in Wayzata.
