Suzanne G. Collier

Suzanne G. Collier, 68, of Walbridge, Ohio, passed away Wednesday, July 12, 2023, at her residence. She was born in Saginaw, Michigan on January 29, 1955, to the late Dale G. and Joyce E. (Monroe) Smith. Suzanne graduated in 1973 from Lake High School. She had worked for many years at the former Motor Wheel in Luckey, Ohio, until her retirement.

Suzanne was a very kind and loving person who gave from her heart to anyone in need, especially her family and friends. Whatever the need was, she was there, never thinking of herself. She was happiest when she was with her siblings and her many nieces and nephews. Suzanne’s laugh was infectious and more so when she was playing Euchre, dancing, or playing board games. Suzanne had a soft spot in her heart for all animals, always caring for a stray or any furry animal that needed a special touch.

Suzanne will be missed by her sisters, Diane E. Wright and Patricia L. Kesler, brother, Douglas D. Smith, K-9 companion, Emma, ex husband and close friend, Rodney Collier, and nieces and nephews, Michael, Jennifer (Scott) and Faith Wright, Daniell, Griffin, Kendal, Cooper, and Brinley Roberts, Jamie (Jacinto) and Rylee Pecina, Trenton and Gavin Chandler, Jessie (Kade) Astle, Sophia and Dominic Astle, James (Grace) Smith, Justin (Kelcie) Smith, Aiden and Kinsler Smith. She was preceded in death by her parents.

Services for Suzanne will be private, and interment will take place in the Lake Township Cemetery at a later date. Those wishing to honor Suzanne, are asked to consider a memorial contribution to the ASPCA, 424 E. 92nd Street, New York, NY 10128-6804. The Walker Funeral Home, Walbridge Chapel, is assisting the family with arrangements. Online condolences may be shared at www.walkerfuneralhomes.com.

"I Made It Home"

I just wanted to let you know that i made it home

the journey wasn’t an easy one, but it didn’t take too long

Everything is so pretty here, so white, so fresh and new

I wish that you could close your eyes and that you could see it too

Please try not to be sad for me

Try to understand God is taking care of me…

I’m in the shelter of His hands

Here there is no sadness, no sorrow, and no pain

Here there is no crying and I will never hurt again

Here it is so peaceful when all the angels sing

I really have to go for now… I’ve just got to try my wings

PS I will be the first face you see when you get here!
