She was a teacher at Southwest Schools in Washburn, Missouri, for 35 years. Being a teacher and working with students was one of her most beloved accomplishments. Even after her retirement, Suzy continued to substitute teach for many years. She loved seeing former students in the community and hearing about their lives and accomplishments.
