Suzanne and her husband, Kenneth Goater, operated Sanborn Greenhouses for many years, until their retirement. She loved to travel and with her father, visited his birthplace of Rotterdam, Holland and many U.S. states with her husband. Sue would tell you - "If you have the opportunity to travel somewhere, go while you're able to and you won't be sorry." She was a historian on all things related to the Tuscarora Nation, remembering families, buildings, historic events and the old ways. Sue was a collector of scrapbooks and photos, and had many pictures taken at weddings on the reservation that she happily shared with others. She enjoyed making and sending cards, and decorating for holidays. Sue loved her family and her animals, was a great homemaker and cook; often cooking for her greenhouse crew during long work hours.
In addition to her husband, Kenneth Goater, she is survived by a grandson, Corey Baggos of Fayetteville, NC; cousins and best friends, Wendy Bissell and Angela Jonathan of Tuscarora Nation; old friends, nieces and nephews, Brenda Muniz, Margo Rizzo and James Muniz; and Shirley Allen and family of Tonawanda. She leaves behind her three loyal canine companions, Luke, Harvey and Ellie Mae. Predeceased by her son, James Baggos in 1994.
