Obituary

Suzanne Dorothea Wells was born on August 15, 1933, in Waukegan, Illinois. She attended North School and graduated from Waukegan Township High School in 1951. Suzanne married John I Theabold and was widowed in 1963 with two daughters, Lou-Anne and Roseanne. Suzanne married Frederick Albert Brean in 1964, gaining a stepson, Patrick Kelly Brean and 4 years later the addition of another daughter, Roxanne.

Known to most as Suzie – she was always welcoming, gracious and kind, easily making friends around the world.

She had a smile that was undeniable and a love for people, especially her family.  She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and great grandmother.  She demonstrated what the meaning of true friendship is and showed her family unconditional love. She loved to cook and entertain hosting parties and holidays.  She also enjoyed knitting, crocheting, bowling and going to the gym.

Suzie was a dedicated Catholic, a member of Our Lady of Humility Church, St Patrick’s in Illinois and Blessed Trinity Church in Ocala, FL.

Stepson Patrick Kelly Brean.  Five loving grandchildren: Shawn Wasson, Kimo (Jolene) Arruda, Keone Arruda, Jamie (Joseph) Javier and Morgan Brean.

    Suzie was a warm, fun, spunky and loving person to all she came into contact with. She was the "can-do" everything in the family and was so thoughtful and incredibly loving. I will always remember our visits to Ocala and how special she made us all feel with her home cooked meals and hospitality. She left a huge mark on this world, and personally to me. She is now with her beloved family who have passed on before her and we should all have faith that she is with GOD and all the angels of heaven. We will all miss you so much Suzie- till we meet again...

    I always called you "Ma"; that's where the idea of Ma & Pa's came from. You always enjoyed that name and knew whenever I was in the room, all you had to hear was "Hey Ma" and you knew I was present. I'll miss you Sue, you have been a wonderful Mother-In-Law and I'm so happy I've been able to be part of your life. Thank You Ma, Phil
