Our beloved mother, Suzanne Marie Estrada, 75, passed away April 21, 2020. She was born in Ponca City, Oklahoma on December 27, 1944.
Growing up, Suzanne lived in Oklahoma, Texas, and Mexico City, Mexico. She graduated from the American High School in Mexico City, Mexico and then went on to receive her RN from St. John’s Hospital School of Nursing and her BSN from OU College of Nursing. She began her career at St. John’s as an operating room nurse and worked her way up to administration. A loyal and valued employee for 38 years, Suzanne was well respected in her field.
A loving mother and selfless daughter, Suzanne always put family first. She worked tirelessly to provide opportunities for her family and to support them in their endeavors. In her spare time, Suzanne was an avid crafter and skilled painter - often sharing her work with family and friends alike.
