Suzanne is survived by her husband, Loren Pannier, and two sons, Marc of Irvine, and Scott of Sacramento, and four grandchildren, Max, Cora, Cooper and Will.

Suzanne was the daughter of Allen and Fern Beaumont of Burlingame, Calif., where Suzanne grew up. Suzanne was educated at Occidental College, and received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Stanford University. She was a teacher by training and worked in public schools and for IBM. She was a stay-at-home mom for Marc and Scott, but also volunteered her time in the schools, her church and other community organizations.

While her life was cut short, Suzanne was grateful for the life she had. Most valuable to her were her many friends who shared her love of family and her enjoyment of reading. In recent years she shared many adventure travels with Loren, as recently as a month ago.
