I was honored to work with Suzette for 3 years at Jerstad-Agerholm Middle School. She was always student focused and was a big support to student, families, and staff. I appreciated our conversations and guidance especially in the most difficult of situations. She will be missed. RIP Suzette.

All of the siblings of the Lorraine (Mulligan) & Wallace Johnson family want to express our deepest condolences to Suzie’s family (Ed, her girls, and her grands). As well, our heartfelt sympathies go out to Suzie’s siblings, our memorable cousins from the old days. The Johnson cousins have lifetime memories of Suzie’s sense of humor. We will never forget her famous “giggle/snicker combo laugh.” It was truly a heaven-inspired laugh, and that same laugh is now creating smiles in Heaven !The Johnson Cousins
