Suzanne H. Wermuth

Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, Suzanne Hollingshead Wermuth, passed away peacefully on July 27, 2025, in Mesa, Arizona, just one month shy of her 87th birthday.

Suzanne was born on August 27, 1938, and spent her life devoted to her family, faith, and simple joys. A lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she lived her life with quiet faith and generous love. As a dedicated stay-at-home mom, she found joy and purpose in raising her five children and creating a home filled with warmth, unconditional love, and kindness.

She is preceded in death by her son David Wermuth. She is survived by her children: Wendy Udall, Danny Wermuth, Holly Sato, and Heather Hendershott; her 23 grandchildren; and 24 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her cherished twin brother, Wick Hollingshead.

In addition to her family, Suzanne shared a deep and enduring bond with Monte Burke, who passed away shortly before her. Their connection was one of quiet devotion, comfort, and mutual care—a rare and tender relationship that brought joy and meaning to her later years.

One of the great friendships of her life was with Grace Fish. For over 50 years, the two were inseparable—two free spirits who loved to shop, laugh, and get into what we lovingly called “trouble”—but always in the best way.

Suzanne had a remarkable ability to make others feel seen and loved. She had a gift for making people feel like they could do no wrong. Her generosity knew no bounds, and she was known for her loving and kind spirit. She especially enjoyed antiques, puzzles, dancing, playing games with family, and the thrill of a great thrift store find.

She will be deeply missed by all who knew her and loved her.

A viewing will be held on Friday, August 8, from 6:00–8:00 p.m.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, August 9, with a viewing from 9:00-10:00 a.m. followed by the funeral service from 10:00-11:00 a.m.

Suzanne will be laid to rest immediately following the funeral at the Mesa Cemetery.
