Suzanne Carlson

Suzanne Marie Carlson, age 35, of Jacksonville, Florida, a former Portland, Indiana, resident, was found on Dec. 30, 2017.

She was born Jan. 30, 1982 in Coldwater, Ohio. She had attended schools in Santa Barbara, California, and Ohio.

Surviving are her parents, James A. Carlson, Huber Heights, Ohio, and Maryann Carlson of Portland, Indiana; her grandmother, Margaret Carlson of Fairborn, Ohio; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Suzanne had a passion for traveling, loved music and played guitar but “couldn’t sing,” so she said. She loved the outdoors and was happiest spending daily walks and swimming in the ocean with her golden retriever.

The tears in my eyes I can wipe away; the ache in my heart will always stay.
