Anyone who was blessed to know her can attest to the fact that she was a kind, compassionate, funny, sensitive and creative woman of God. She loved deeply, prayed fervently, shared Jesus with everyone she met and had a true, humble servants heart and delighted in helping others. Suzi always had a kind word to share, a smile on her face and was full of encouragement. She listened, truly cared and the light of Jesus shone brightly through her. Her faith in Jesus was a living faith in a living Savior. She read her Bible daily and spent time in prayer and worship and was always quick to share a Scripture with those around her. Jesus was the Lover of her soul, and she walked with Him and talked with Him, enjoying sweet communion with Him daily. Her deep and abiding faith gave her a peaceful joy and she was truly the hands and feet of Jesus. Suzi was a woman of great courage who faced every situation with faith and confidence and in complete reliance upon her ever-present Lord. Suzi was born in Lubbock, TX August 18, 1952 to Marion Merrill (Ted) and Irene Burch and she always joked about being born on Broadway (street). She was raised on a farm in Petersburg, TX and developed a work ethic that she carried with her the rest of her life. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Bobby Merrill.
