It is with sadness that I send this message of condolence to the Oliver/Summy family. Suzie and I became friends many, many years ago. She was definitely a bright light in my life. Her beautiful smile, her giving nature, her sense of humor, all contributed to the wonderful friend she was to me and to many. A highlight of my life was when she came to visit me in Maine a few years ago. We reminisced for hours. These words came to mind when reading about Suzie: Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal. (On a headstone in Ireland.) Suzie will always be part of wonderful life memories.

Suzie told me that she got her nickname (Suzie) from the Everly Brother's song of that name. She certainly didn't represent the "wake up" part.. She had a wonderful stage presentation for life and rocked as my secretary for 17 years. I am sure my ENT practice was nutured as much by Suze as myself. I was one the three Toms in her life and very privelged to be one. Elizabeth and I bought her house after she and Tom Summy were married. The Dogwood trees she planted in the back yard are so beautiful right now. They remind us of her. Our condolences to Brian, Nathan and Sheral. Fritz and Elizabeth Viner

I was so saddened to hear of Suzie’s passing. The last time I saw her was at George Gay’s funeral and couldn’t believe how much she hadn’t changed. Suzie was such a light at church for me growing up and made a huge impact on me. One of, if not my favorite people at church.

I have a lot of fond memories of her. Hanging out at her house and in awe that she took care of that huge lizard! She was willing to take it out and let it swim in the tub- No thanks! Eating lots of Brueggers in the basement of the old church, getting hugs and always feeling that we were as special to Suzie as we felt about her. Suzie also just knew that I wasn’t feeling right, wasn’t myself and got me into Dr.Viner when I had mono. She was good. She was beautiful- both inside and out. She was a gift from God to many, including myself.

I loved her and she will always hold a special place in my heart. Thinking of your family including Chris and Sheral.

Suzie was truly a wonderful woman. Her smile, "ever present" radiated warmth to those around her. Her kind, inquisitive and gracious spirit will be dearly missed.

Ill try again. Suzie was a very special person in my life. I met Suzie at First Christian Church and immediately regarded her personality as one I wanted to know more. She had an adorable laugh and was always smiling or being kind to someone. We had a common interest as she worked for Dr. Viner and I knew him as a otolaryngologists resident when I worked at the U. What a thrill it was to talk about Dr. Viner whom she and I both respected. He too had great memories of her.

She will always hold a special place in my heart as a lady of wisdom and kindness. I as well as many will miss her immensely, however she left many of her treasures behind. As you can see by this picture her beauty was both outside as well as inside.

RIP,my precious Suzie

Suzie will be missed by many and was such a wonderful woman! Suzie will always hold a special place in my heart, as she was one of the first residents that Welcomed me to Legacy Gardens. Her smile would light up a room. Cherish those memories, sending you my thoughts and prayers during this time!
