Suezanne Duncan
March 4, 1942- April 3, 2023
Suezanne Paige Duncan, age 81, passed away in Wenatchee, WA on Monday April 3, 2023, due to a heart attack from which her body could not recover. She was surrounded by her beloved husband of 59 years, Robert C. Duncan, sons Reid Alan Duncan, Ryan Gregory Duncan, and daughter Nicole Ann Kenny (Duncan). Suezanne was born on March 4, 1942, in Walla Walla, WA., to Floyd Paige Perry and Arminda Emily Perry (Coppock). Suezanne was very fortunate to receive her education across the country, as her family moved from time to time for her father’s career as a College Professor. This took them to several lovely universities located in Oregon, New Mexico, Minnesota, and Washington. Suezanne attended universities located in Minnesota and Oregon. Suezanne ultimately achieved her Master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology at Eastern Oregon University, all while working and raising small children.
Suezanne had a very diversified occupational experience working as a Special Needs Educator, Reading Instructor, Speech Language Pathologist, Third Grade Teacher and finally as a Small Business Owner. Recently, when asked what her favorite job was, Suezanne replied, “I have never had a bad job! I loved them all!”
Suezanne’s formative years were spent atop a horse in Eastern Oregon around Athena, Heppner and North Lexington, forever favorite places in her heart. She had a very close and loving relationship with her cousins, who were like siblings. Over the years, many fond memories have been shared of their shenanigans. Her friends are cherished and will forever have special places in all of the Duncan hearts. Suezanne loved horses and shared this love with her daughter. Her husband, Bob supported her with this, although her sons never caught the fever and preferred motorcycles which could go faster and never put up a fuss.
Suezanne is survived by her husband Robert; son Reid and wife Lori and his son Alec; son Ryan and wife Kami with their sons Wesley, Teague, and Jones; and her daughter Nicole and husband Tom with their children Karly and Kelen. Our family will gather together to celebrate Suezanne privately. Thank you to all of our family and friends and for your support during this difficult time. There will be no public service. If you would like to honor Suezanne in some way, please feel free to make donations in her name to your charity of choice.
