In Memory Of
Edith Suzanne "Suzi" Mason
1922 - 2019
Latham- Edith Suzanne Mason “Suzi”, 97, passed away on Sunday, December 1, 2019. Born in France, she was the daughter of the late Benjamin and Denise Vanoye. Suzi is predeceased by her spouses Louis Kocher, Frank Brown, William Jellison and James Mason.
Following World War II, Suzi met and married an American GI, Frank Brown, and came to the United States to start a new chapter in her life. Even though she held a college degree from France, she only spoke a little bit of English when she arrived. She took her first job as an assistant cook in a local bank, and slowly worked her way up to and eventually retired as an officer and branch manager of National Savings Bank, which is now a part of Key Bank.
Suzi was an avid golfer, a game she learned to play in her fifties and played until her mid eighties. Another love of Suzi’s was playing cards, especially bridge. Suzi spent many winters in Hawaii, with her husband Bill Jellison, which she grew to love. While there, they spent long days on the beach of Waikiki and evenings with friends, going to dinner and dancing. Above all, Suzi adored her family. She loved spending time with them, whether it was a casual dinner, a large celebration, or just playing with her great-granddaughters who brought her so much joy.
Suzi is survived by her daughter Denise Mason (Kurt), Mary Ellen Angress (Peter) and Jomi Smith. She was the loving “Grandmaman” to Danielle Adams and Rachel Geracitano (Michael) and the loving great grandmaman to Gisele and Elise Geracitano. Suzi is also survived by her older sister Christianne Quentin, who still resides in France.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions can be made to a charity of your choice in Suzi’s name.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, December 7, 2019 at 4:00pm at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 21 Hackett Blvd, Albany, NY 12208.
