Born on June 6, 1966, in Penn Yan, Suzi was a compassionate soul dedicated to helping others.

Suzi is survived by her four loving children, Stephen Kriegar of Penn Yan, Kaylee Kriegar and Alexander Warren of Bellona, Kaitlyn and Phil Rossi of Penn Yan, and Jenny Kriegar of Penn Yan; husband Ricky Kriegar; and loving life partner Kevin Cotton. She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren, Adeline, Nora, Colton, and Harper, along with her two devoted pets, her dog Pig and cat Stink. Her four siblings, Richard (Darci) Cheasman of Naples, Trevor (Amoureen) Hobart of Penn Yan, Cathy Cheasman of Naples, and Jamie (James) Adams of Penn Yan. Her loving spirit will always be remembered and missed.

A Celebration of Life will be scheduled at a future date. The Weldon Funeral Home of Penn Yan is assisting the family. Friends and family can leave condolences or share memories of Suzie in her online guestbook at www.WeldonFuneralHome.com.
