She was born on December 19, 1947, in East Grand Forks, Minnesota. A brilliant woman—Suzanne graduated from Bemidji High School in 1966 and from Bemidji State University in 1973.

Neilson Foundation, the president and a longtime member of the Bemidji Ladies Curling Club, and was also the treasurer of Port Hope Township for many, many years.
