Suzie Bemis (1961-2016) Obituary
She was 55 years of age. She loved sports and could not wait to turn 50 to play senior sports. She liked to play pickleball and softball. She really loved the wind in her face when down hill bike racing when she was younger. Suzie brought a big smile to her friends and genuine caring for others.
