Suzanne (Hayden) Palenske

Suzanne Marie Hayden Palenske came into the world May 28, 1959 and the world was a better place right away.  Suzy passed away on May 5, 2021 and Heaven became a better place right away.  

She was preceded in passing by her parents; and her son, Benjamin Palenske.

Suzy was the daughter and second child of Madeline & Edmund Hayden, following her older sister, Julie (Chuck) Hayden Bonniwell; their children, daughter, Jennifer Jordon, and son, Rev Bonniwell; then followed by two brothers, John (Karen) Hayden and Matt (Gina) Hayden; and their children, Gina Hayden, son, Nathan (Karen) Hayden, daughter Kassi (Ryan) Baker, son, Devin (Taylor) Hayden; their children, son, Alex Hayden and son, Ryan Hayden; and then her sister, Amy (Brian) Hayden Holtkamp; and their children, son, Jason Holtkamp, daughter, Kate Holtkamp, son, Riley Holtkamp and son, Cody Holtkamp.  

Suzy and her ex-husband John Bowen Palenske had two outstanding sons, John (Lesley) Palenske, and their family, daughter, Paige Palenske and son, Bowen Palenske and Benjamin and his daughter, Maeve. 

She was loved strongly by all and is equally missed.  She turned down the Nobel prize for equestrian & canine care because she had no time for such hullabaloo and the horses were not invited to the ceremony.  Her smile and laugh were delightfully infectious and good for Heaven, they got a winner.

A Memorial Gathering will be held on Thursday, May 13, 2021 at the Schneider Leucht Merwin & Cooney Funeral Home, 1211 N. Seminary Avenue, Woodstock from 4:00 pm until the 6:30 pm Memorial Service.  Interment services will be private.
