Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Tuesday July 22, 2014

DOWIATT, SUZANNE P. passed away peacefully on the afternoon of July 17, 2014. We'll miss our mom, wife, grandma, and friend, but know she's now in a better place by the Lord's side. Born in Amarillo, Texas on April 29, 1938 to George and Ann Parker, Suzanne was 76 at the time of her passing. Suzanne had a love of life and it showed in her relationships with her family and friends. Through life's experiences, Suzanne gained a passion for counseling others and helping those in need. Family and friends were very proud when Suzanne, at 58 years young, earned her Bachelor of University Studies and soon after received her certification to practice as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor. Suzanne touched many lives through her counseling and enjoyed her work very much. Suzanne loved working in her yard, tending to flowers, and forever battling those pesky weeds. Dogs were a large part of Suzanne's life and her pets were always well loved and well cared for. Friends and family will miss Suzanne dearly and thank the Lord for bringing her light to our lives. Suzanne leaves behind, with fond memories of our time with her, a husband, Al; two sons, David and Daniel; her four grandkids, Crystal, Jamie, Austin and Stephani; an ex-husband, Jim. A memorial service will be held in Albuquerque to celebrate Suzanne's life. Committal of ashes will be in Amarillo, Texas.
