With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Karen Sue "Susie" Peaco, a beloved soul who brought light and love to all who knew her. Susie was born on February 22, 1945, in Dayton, Ohio, and it is where she peacefully departed on August 7, 2024, surrounded by the affection of her cherished family.

Susie spent many joyful years working at Jaques Florist, where her love for flowers blossomed alongside her genuine passion for creating beauty. Her career not only brought her joy but also allowed her to spread happiness through her floral creations within the community.

In her free time, Susie adored giraffes, found solace in crocheting, and enjoyed the thrill of visiting casinos. Her hobbies reflected her vibrant personality - loving, cool, and always radiating a calming presence that could light up any room she entered.
