Suzanne was born in Wolcott, NY to Robert N. Howell and Mary Amber Howell. She cherished her memories of growing up with her parents and sisters in Spring Lake, NY.

She was generous with family, strangers, and stray cats, she was a fantastic cook, and had a wonderful sense of humor and a contagious laugh.

She was predeceased by her parents Robert and Amber Howell; and Burch Falkner, her beloved husband of over 40 years.
