Suzanne Mary (Johnson) Hopkins, passed away on June 8, 2026. She was born on November 26, 1937, in Ogilvie, Minnesota.
Suzanne’s love of travel was a defining aspect of her character, with a special fondness for Israel.

Beyond her travels, Suzanne was committed to a healthy lifestyle, embracing jogging and mindful eating, reflecting a lifelong dedication to wellness. She also enjoyed the chance to play some Keno at the casino in her free time.
