She was born in Pascagoula, Mississippi on July 26, 1953, to the late Forest Parker and Francis (Przbysz) Parker. When she was four years old her family moved to Whitewater, Wisconsin, where she grew up. She graduated from Palmyra High School.
She was united in marriage to the love of her life, John “Jack” Reinholm, in Williams Bay, Wisconsin on January 2, 1993. He preceded her in death on December 21, 2021. Suzy was an optician since 1986 and self-employed at Lake Geneva Opticians since the year 2000. She enjoyed helping her customers select frames and appropriate lenses to enjoy a perfect fit.
Suzy was a member of Pathway Church, Burlington, Wisconsin, (f/k/a New Life Bible Church, Twin Lakes, WI and Riverwood Community Church, Burlington, WI) and was a woman of great faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She boldly shared her faith with family, friends, and customers whenever she could.

Other interests included camping with friends in Rome, Wisconsin, reading, and being with those she loved. Suzy loved animals and had many household pets in the past. When she visited friends, their dogs would eagerly wait for the treat they knew Suzy had hidden for them in her pocket.
