Suzy was born on September 18, 1932, in Rabat, Morocco, to the late Alphonse and Dolores Mestre Barthelemy. She was preceded in death by two brothers and three sisters.

She is survived by her two sisters, Claude and Rose; her son, Guy Almodovar and his wife, Kathy; two daughters, Laura Darr and her husband, Rusty, and Brigitte Miller and her husband, Dale; six grandchildren, Randy Almodovar, Cory Darr, Melanie Darr, Jacob Darr and his wife, Yakira, Kerri Wright and her husband, Chad, Kaylee Richardson and her husband, Charles; and nine great-grandchildren, Keagan Wright, Aislinn Wright, Caelan Wright, Jordan Richardson, Carson Richardson, Ella Richardson, Logan Darr, Hunter Smith, and October Darr.
In lieu of flowers, she would ask everyone to simply love one another.
