Suzanne Sindle

ORAN, Mo. -- Suzanne Sindle, 71, of Oran was surrounded by family, when on Sunday, April 10, 2022, she was welcomed into heaven by our Lord and Savior.

She was diagnosed with a very advanced and aggressive cancer. Suzanne fought bravely and without complaint.

Suzanne was born June 21, 1950 in Glennon, Missouri, to the late Louis and Hannah Elfrink.

She was one of the few selfless individuals whose joy in life was to care for others. This was demonstrated through her nursing career of 30 years. You could also witness it through her dedication and constant attention given to family and friends. The highlight for all kids, grandkids, great-grandkids and even all pets was her weekly cousins' day at mama and papa's house! Her positive outlook and unwavering faith were an inspiration to all of those around her.

She was more than a wife. She was more than a mom. She was more than a mama and great-grandmother. She was a loyal servant, a gathering place for everyone willing to give family a chance. Suzanne used the life God gave her to start a loving family, but in doing so she started a culture. She started an example, a path for everyone to follow. It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from. Something great can be formed from nothing more than God's love, faith, open arms and a happy home. You can tell as many stories as you want about Suzanne, but it doesn't matter. It won't ever do her justice.

Survivors include her husband of nearly 50 years, James Sindle; four daughters, Sarah (Cash) Kinney, Theresa (Joe) Shoemaker, Rebecca (Darin) Woods and Hannah (Andy) Gadberry; 12 grandchildren, Cashus Kinney, Wyatt Kinney, Jacob Shoemaker, Samuel Shoemaker, Elijah Shoemaker, Nathaniel Woods, Cora Woods, Weston Woods, Victor Woods, Porter Gadberry, Harper Gadberry and Fisher Gadberry; great-grandchildren, Breanna Kinney, Brylee Kinney and Bella Kinney; three sisters, Normie (Dale) Bohnsack, Mary (late David) Trent and Cynthia (Joe) French; also many cherished nieces, nephews and loved ones.

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by a sister, Mary Theresa.

Visitation was held Tuesday at the Amick-Burnett Funeral Chapel in Oran.

Eucharistic celebration will be at 10 a.m. today at the Guardian Angel Catholic Church with the Rev. Joseph Kelly officiating. Interment will be at St. Anthony Cemetery in Glennon.

In lieu of flowers, memorials being made to Guardian Angel School. Envelopes will be provided at the funeral home office.
