Sadly, we have lost another classmate. We have just learned that Suzanne Carson passed on August 22, 2021. Many of us remember going to grade school with Suzanne (Encanto/Clarendon) along with sharing the four years at West. Suzanne was instrumental in organizing our 40th class reunion. May her memory be a blessing. Ginni Weaver Lionberger
Suzanne Lynn Arndt-Carson
It is with great sorrow that the family of Suzanne Lynn Arndt-Carson announces her passing on Sunday, August 22, 2021, at the age of 70. Suzanne was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on July 31, 1951, to Marianne Carson and Roy Arndt. Suzanne will be deeply missed by her family, extended family, and friends. She was actively involved with her church and loved to read her Bible, embroider, paint, and travel. She lived by the concept expressed in Matthew 7:13-14 that "I never said it would be easy; I said it would be worth it!"
Suzanne is survived by her daughter Tamara (Thomas) Peterec; grandson Malachi Henner; brothers Keith Carson, Greg (Dawna) Arndt, and Gary (Pegi)Arndt; niece Stephanie (Chris) Pimsner; nephews Scott (Martha, Marissa, Izabella) Carson and Kristopher Carson; and her extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, adoptive father, and sister.
A celebration of Suzanne's life will be held at Church for the Nations, 670 N. Arizona Ave. Chandler, Arizona 85225 on September 18th at 10am. https://www.azcentral.com/obituaries/par052163

Oh my goodness, Suzanne! Do you remember living together on West Cheery Lynn? Steve Bos and the Thompson girls, April and Jane, lived to our west, and your family to our east. Your parents were so understanding and welcoming toward my brother and sister, and me. And together with your own brother and sister we would swim the summers away in your backyard pool. Dove hunting with your father and brother in the territory now known as "North Phoenix". The day that my brother drove our '59 Pontiac Starchief into our kitchen started with an innocent turn-around in your driveway, what ensued thereafter wasn't quite as innocent, I'm afraid. Though in the years to follow we remained rather distant, raising ourselves as it were, I know that you were tremendously introspective and trust that this heavenly graduation finds you happier than in all your moments leading up to it. May Gods Bless you, Suzanne! Will you save me a spot, maybe somewhere to your west, please! "The music in my heart I bore, long after it was heard no more." William Wordsworth
