GERMAIN Suzanne S. Germain, 75, of Naples, Fla., passed away peacefully at home on September 2, 2002 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born and raised in Cleveland, Oh, where her great-grandfather, Adam Wager, was an original settler of Lakewood in 1818. Sue's family history was of great interest to her and she derived hours of pleasure doing research and compiling scrapbooks. Her home has always reflected this pride in her heritage with photos throughout and her famous "The Book" shown frequently to visitors. She contracted polio at the age of 7, which she overcame with the help of her mother. She was promised a xylophone upon recovery, at which she later became accomplished. She attended Laurel School for Girls in Shaker Heights, Bradford Junior College in Bradford, Mass. and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor where she graduated in 1948 and remained an avid, if not exuberant, football fan. After marrying, she moved to Columbus, Oh. where she lovingly raised her 4 children. She moved to Naples, Fla. in 1981. Suzanne is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Susan Germain Maahs and Wayne Maahs of Naples, Fla.; 3 sons and daughters-in-law, Robert Lawrence Germain Jr. and Laurie Germain of Naples, Fla., Stephen Lewis and Kim Germain, Richard Bailey and Elizabeth Germain, all of Columbus, Oh.; her very special 13 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Also surviving is her brother and sister-in-law, Carlton Louis Shmock, M.D. and Polly Shmock of Rockport, Tex. Sue also leaves behind her devoted cat, Fluffy, who gave her much joy and companionship. The void we feel in her passing is only surpassed by the joy she brought us in her life. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, September 7, 2002 at 12noon at St. John's Episcopal Church, 500 Park Shore Drive, Naples, Fla. The family will receive friends at the Parrish Hall after the service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Suzanne S.
