Suzanne Russell Smith

Hey Grandma,

I love you…. Thank you for being the best grandma and mom to me and the best great grandma to Manny. You never gave up on me. This is super hard. I’m still in shock and numb. But don’t worry I will make you proud. Manny will be good and do good. I love you … Love Mel.

Suzanne, known to the Alden family as “Tudy”, entered our lives when we met at a Torrey Pines High School football game back in the late 1970s. Our friendship grew steadfastly over the ensuing years. As we had children similar in age, we continued to share many marvelous times together through the years.

Tudy, a truly remarkable and loving woman, became one amazing, enthusiastic, and beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She reached out in friendship to all who knew her..

We treasure Tudy’s memory. She is in our thoughts and prayers – as is her family.

All the Aldens send expressions of love and sympathy to Tudy’s extended family members!
Cheryl Alden and family
