Suzanne H. White, 81, of Franklin, Wisconsin, died peacefully on October 22, 2026.
Suzanne was born February 6, 1945, in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Edward and Helen Perkowski. She married the love of her life, Jack White, and together they built a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. They took great joy in raising their daughters and enjoyed traveling and sharing wonderful times with friends.
Following Jack's passing, Suzanne remained active and found great fulfillment in volunteering at the Monona Senior Center in Madison . She loved being around people and especially enjoyed puzzles, board games, dominoes, and just about any game that brought people together. Suzanne treasured the friendships she made and the simple joys of spending time with others.
Above all, Suzanne's greatest joy was her family. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and Grandma whose kindness, warmth, and love will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Suzanne is survived by her beloved daughters, Sheri (Brian) Ott and Julie White; and her cherished grandchildren, Zachary and Jack.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, Jack; and her sister, Delores.
