Suzanne Louise Hammontree's Obituary
Suzanne Louise Hammontree, born July 20, 1948, in Henryetta, Oklahoma, to Oscar and Mattie Hughes, passed away peacefully on November 15, 2024, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the age of 76.
Suzanne’s love story with her husband, Elmer, began on the Henryetta Drag, where she was having car trouble with a stubborn horn. Elmer stepped in, fixed it, and sparked a connection that would last a lifetime. They married on April 22, 1967, in Henryetta, embarking on a journey filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.
Suzanne had a zest for life and an adventurous spirit. She loved cruises, margaritas, road trips, and flying to new destinations. Her sense of humor was unmatched, and her quick wit brought joy to everyone around her. If you crossed her, she’d let you know with a shake of her fist—always with a touch of humor. Above all, Suzanne was a kind-hearted soul, a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a talented cook who brought her family together over delicious meals.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 57 years, Elmer; her sons, Robert Hammontree and wife Sherril, and David Hammontree; her siblings, Melodee Seiz and Berle Hughes, her cherished grandsons Joshua and JR; granddaughter, Misty; and a host of great-grandchildren, family, and friends who will forever hold her memory close.
Suzanne is reunited in Heaven with her parents, Oscar and Mattie Hughes, and her brother, Tommy Hughes.
Her life will be celebrated with a service honoring her vibrant spirit and enduring love for her family and friends.
Suzanne’s family invites you to remember her by sharing a margarita, traveling somewhere new, or laughing at a great joke—just as she would have loved. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
