Suzanne was called home by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Suzanne was born on November 27, 1960 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. She was the daughter of the late Abraham and Adelaide (Gladstone) Teitelbaum.

A generous mother; the sacrifices she made for her children were life changing. A committed wife; the adoration she shared with her husband was inspiring. Her love, generosity, and commitment to her family and friends will leave an ever-lasting imprint on the hearts of all who knew her. She truly was one in a million.
