A proud graduate of Denver University, where she earned her Masters in Music, Suzanne dedicated over 50 years of her life to education. Her teaching journey began in Montbello, later continuing at Steck Elementary. She was a constant presence in the lives of her students, inspiring countless young minds throughout her remarkable career, and even served as a substitute teacher in Douglas County for several more years.

Suzanne was known for her spirited personality; she was a true spitfire, determined and independent, always insisting that things be done her way. This fierce determination endeared her to many and left a lasting impact on those she encountered. Beyond her professional life, Suzanne brought her vibrant energy home, where she found joy in her beloved cats and the tender moments shared with her family.

An avid gardener, Suzanne delighted in maintaining her garden and had a deep love for flowers; they brought her immense joy and were a reflection of her radiant spirit. Moreover, her competitive nature shone through on the tennis court, where she played until her 80s, embracing each match with passion and enthusiasm.

Suzanne is survived by her devoted daughter, Cynthia Stone-Coryell, and her adoring granddaughters, Tameryn Coryell and Taryn Coryell, who will carry her spirit forward with love and fond memories. She is predeceased by her beloved spouse, Dee Vern Wilson, whose love she cherished deeply.
