Suzanne Marie Ray

Suzanne Marie Ray (nee Edgcombe) was born on September 9, 1967 to Virgil and Ruth Edgcombe in Flint, Michigan. Suzanne was the last of their 6 children, making her the baby of the family. From the beginning, she had everyone's attention with her bright smile and infectious laugh. She married John Ray on October 2, 2004, and moved to Sterling Heights, Michigan. She accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior as a young adult and let His light shine through her for the rest of her years. She was adventurous, a born leader, and loved the beach. In 2017, she planned a trip to Florida with her sisters and friends, which continued on every year. She worked faithfully at a periodontic dental office, whom she thought of as family. She went home to be with Jesus on December 8, 2024. Thank you to all who sacrificed their time to care for her in her last days. Suzanne is survived by her husband of 20 years, John Ray; her father-in-law, Larry Ray and mother-in-law, Nancy Ray; her sister-in-law, Linda (Ken) Treece and brother-in-law, Mike Ray. Suzanne is also survived by her siblings David (Colleen) Edgcombe, Greg (Laurie) Edgcombe, Elizabeth (Jack) Tubbs, Mary (Dan) Nichols, and sister-in-law Diane Edgcombe; 14 nieces and nephews; 16 great-nieces and great-nephews; longtime friends, Pam Bejnar, Shawn Stanley, and Tony Jacobini. She is preceded in death by her parents, Virgil and Ruth Edgcombe; brother, Mark Edgcombe; nephews, Ryan and Daniel; and great-niece, Brakell. Suzanne would like to be remembered for her love of Jesus and that she tried to portray that love to all who knew her. She will be dearly missed.
