WATCH FUNERAL HERE 4PM MST JUNE 1 2023- see below for link On Monday, May 22, 2023, our beloved mother, teacher Suzan Jacobs Lake passed away peacefully surrounded by her five children and their father at her home of 43 years in Read Obituary
Suzan was a stellar teacher, even in her beginning years at Sunny Hills High School. She inspired her students to recognize the meanings of literature and relate these meanings to their own lives. Suzan lived her religion. She was a great teacher and a model for us all. I am sorry for your loss. Gone way too soon. Dr. Judy Scheid
Our condolences to Suzan's family and friends. She was proud of her pioneer ancestors. She was a member of Daughters of Utah Pioneers, joining in January of 2022.
Mrs. Lake was my english teacher and an encourager of my creative talents. She read and critiqued my creative writing in her spare time and was always free to chat. Once when I crashed her bible study group to get her advice about a difficult personal matter, she patiently counseled me instead of wondering why in the world I was there. Most importantly, she taught me how to write and, in that way, also how to to think. My condolences to her family. I hope it is a comfort to know the enormous legacy your mother has left behind.
Suzan is a bright light in my life. Her brother, Jim, at times invited me to help keep the plumbing at Cornell Circle in working order. Our time was always rewarded with good food and refreshing commentary on the deteriorating quality of education. Never to be outdone in gratitude or generosity, one day she sent me home with this framed quotation and a thoughtfully-composed letter.
