OBITUARY 

Suzanne Louise Freeman of Westlake Village, California, died suddenly on August 11, 2011 while riding her motorcycle on the Pacific Coast Highway near San Simeon, California.

She was with her husband and friends at the time of her death. 

She was 64. 

Suzanne was born on July 14, 1947, in Dallas, Texas and married Stephen Freeman in 1971. Suzanne graduated from the University of Arkansas in 1975 with a Bachelor of Arts in the German language. She was an active member of the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. 

Suzanne and Stephen moved to Westlake Village, California in 1976. 

Throughout her professional career she worked for Westlake Lutheran Church, Exxon, and for the majority of her career in the Office of the President at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, California. 

She is survived by her husband, Stephen G. Freeman and children David C. Freeman, of Las Vegas, Nevada and Ashley A. Freeman, of Santa Barbara, California.  In addition Suzanne's sister, Janet Baber, of San Antonio, Texas; and several nieces and nephews.

Suzanne was a devoted wife of 40 years, a beloved mother, aunt, as well as a friend to many. Her mother, Francis Flick, and father, Jesse Flick, of Dallas, Texas preceded her in death. She was proud of her Texan heritage and never fully lost her endearing southern accent.  

All her life, Suzanne loved tennis, reading, cooking, history, knitting and politics. A world wide traveler, Suzanne spent decades filling her passport with stamps and her heart with memories.  Upon  receiving her motorcycle license in celebration of her fiftieth birthday, Suzanne began her passion of seeing the country via her Harley Davidson Softail motorcycle on trips with her husband, family and friends. She was an experienced rider of over 14 years. 

Suzanne was a member of New Hope Lutheran Church (formally known as Westlake Lutheran Church) and Ascension Lutheran Church.  She touched lives with her positive attitude, devotion to California Lutheran University as well as with her love and generosity toward others.  

Suzanne was loved by her friends and family and lived a full and joyful life. She often said, "Life is good!"
