Suzanne was a certified pharmacy technician for many years.  She also made many professional writing contributions online, where she made many wonderful friendships that were important to her.

Cooking was something Suzanne loved to do, and excelled at, particularly making dishes for the holidays. Her homemade fudge was always popular. She also enjoyed music and shared this with her daughters as they grew up.

Suzanne was preceded in death by her mother, Peggy Sullivan Waide, and is survived by her daughters - Mary Mae Curb and Hannah Jo Curb, her brothers - Kent (Stacy) Waide and Ben (Lori) Waide, her father- Harry Doyle Waide and her granddaughters -  Olivia, Valerie, Kristian and Isabella.
