I met Suzanne in the South Hill Music Club. Our love for music started a friendship and leaves me with many happy memories. My prayers are with the family.
Condolence
I remember Suzanne well from a number of times she called me to sub for her at LaCrosse United Methodist Church. I also attended a number of her Christmas programs. Musicians in our area are few and far between, so I am particularly sorry for our community. She was so dedicated to the song, and as I recall, she played and directed well in to her 80s. This kind of dedication took a great deal of her time, talent, and energy. I know that Suzanne will be missed not only by her family, but by those whose lives she touched. I know I am very glad I got to meet her. May she rest in peace, and may her family be comforted at this grevious time. Musically, Richard N. Watson
We weren’t musical. Mrs Ferguson was always a valued bridge player in my mother’s group. It was just a few years ago that covid interfered with their play. She was sharp with cards and delightful all around
What a sweet and Christian lady she was. So sorry to hear
of her death. There is no question that she is rejoicing with her Lord and Savior. May God be with each member of her family in the months ahead without her. Lots of love from my home to yours.
I’d like to express my condolences to Cliff, Barry, Buzzy and all the rest of the Fergusen family for their loss.
Music
Suzanne was my choir director and good friend. I sang in many choirs and programs led by her. She was an excellent musician in our church, La Crosse UMC, and a good cook. She fed me many times, along with her family, and served everyone well. We will miss her, but, at the same time, we rejoice that she is with our Savior, whom she loved and served very well. Love and comfort and strength to all the family!
So sorry for your loss. You have my heartfelt sympathy.

Mrs Ferguson taught my daughter piano lesson. She was always a sweet lady that I’m sure will be missed by a lot of people. My condolences to her family.
Condolences to the entire family.
I had the pleasure of singing with her in the community choir.
So sorry to hear of Mrs Ferguson’s passing. She was a very special and talented lady and will be greatly missed. So glad I got to know her through LaCrosse U.M Church Contata’s. I am sure she is leading a Heavenly Choir now.
